UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
REC CENTERS 3012: The University of Kentucky Medical Center (UKMC) is a leading comprehensive academic health center with extensive experience and success in electronic health records implementation and adoption by clinicians. UKMC has developed a core team supporting attainment of meaningful use by priority care primary care providers through the UKMC Regional Extension Center (REC). This team combines UKMC's own expertise in health information technology, education, clinical care and dissemination of information, and strategic partnerships with other universities, health information exchanges (HIEs), quality improvement organizations (QIOs) and community stakeholders.
The short-term goals of the UKMC REC are to: 1) assist 1200 providers with EHR adoption, HIE participation, and achievement of meaningful use in 2 years; 2) support 1800 providers with privacy and security resources; 3) evaluate the process and outcomes of EHR implementation in 10 priority primary care practices to identify best practices; and 4) partner with the statewide Kentucky Health Information Exchange to expand health information exchange.
A comprehensive, coordinated array of services and strategies will address barriers and enhance supports for EHR adoption by priority primary care providers (PPCPs). Plans will be tailored to the needs of each practice by combining well-developed educational resources and systems, UK's state-of-the-art continuing education resources, experience in EHR adoption and implementation, and on-site PCPP consultation and coaching during the EHR adoption process.
The UKMC REC strategic partners include the University of Louisville Health Sciences Center, HealthBridge (an HIE), Health Care Excel (a QIO), and the Area Health Education Centers. UKMC and these strategic partners have established relationships with physicians and the healthcare community throughout Kentucky-relationships which will enhance project implementation through rapid dissemination of information to professional associations, practicing PPCPs and clinicians, and regional universities. By collaborating with existing regional networks, UKMC REC facilitates rapid project start-up through established relationships with PPCPs.
The UKMC REC service area includes a region characterized by high disease burden, high poverty rates, and physician shortages. The long-term vision of the UKMC REC is to improve the quality and value of healthcare for the people of Kentucky, and to serve as a model for other areas that face similar challenges.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
The Kentucky Regional Extension Center (KY REC) was a very visible participant in the HIMSS national meeting in March. Three presentations were shared on this national stage: one reporting the results of the Kentucky Ambulatory Network research project on the identification of proposed best practices for EHR implementation, one on the award-winning collaboration of HITECH programs in Kentucky and one on the incorporation of cancer registry data in the Kentucky Health Information Exchange. Five REC staff received the Certified Professional in Healthcare & Management Systems or “CPHIMS” designation after completing the exam at HIMSS. KY REC continues to provide quarterly updates and modifies its budget per direction from ONC and works with budgets and agreements for its sub-recipient, Health Care Excel, the state QIQ. KY REC continues to speak at multiple outreach events, particularly regarding Stage 2 MU measures and privacy and security. Regional meetings are being held to share information on these two important topics along with information re: REC services aligned with our sustainability model. KY REC meets weekly with KHIE leadership. KHIE’s Cancer Registry is live and we continue to assist our providers in participating in and utilizing this registry. Staff participates in national communities of practice webinars, and represents the KY REC on the coordinating committee and sub-committees for KHIE. KY REC staff were instrumental in providing information on CAH for the new ONC website focused on assisting CAH and rural hospitals adopt HIT. We have reached our Milestones 1 and 2 targets and more than 46% of our enrolled providers have completed Milestone 3. We also have met our Milestone 1 target for CAH enrollment and are at about 67% for our Milestones 2 and 3 for our CAH award. We continue to work towards meeting our remaining grant milestones, focusing on Milestone 3 acceleration as directed by ONC. |
