Quarterly Activities/Project Description The purpose of the Gulf Coast Regional Extension Center (GCREC) is to facilitate safe, effective, and Meaningful Use of HIT by Eligible Professionals, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) and Rural hospitals. The GCREC leadership has changed. Dr. Jack Smith is the acting PI. Samuel Liong is the Executive Director.

We are currently working with 1714 (78%) providers at M2 and 610 (28%) providers at M3. GCREC priorities are achieving MU for the currently 78% providers at M2 and overall acceleration of these providers from M2 to M3. We are working to increase marketing efforts to enroll additional providers that need support for Meaningful Use. GCREC is awaiting completion of agreement with Medicaid to provide EHR services for 400 specialists eligible for Medicaid Incentives. The GCREC 2013 calendar has been completed with important Medicaid and Medicare incentives dates for providers. GCREC continues to provide public education on HIT and Meaningful Use topics through our monthly webinars series; the webinars are hosted by GCREC in collaboration with CentrEast, West Texas, and North Texas RECs. Hospital Enrollment: Nine hospitals (45%) have been enrolled, 6 (30%) hospitals are at M2 and 4 (20%) at M3 status. There are 4 more hospitals targeted for enrollment this year. The plan is to attain go-live for 3 hospitals (M2) by the end of May 2013. Four hospitals plan to reach Meaningful Use (M3) by the end of July 2014. The program manager working on CAH/RH activities continues to provide education and Meaningful Use consulting to enrolled hospitals beyond the initial reporting year.
