About Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center (I-HITEC)
Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center (I-HITEC) is a federally-designated state-chartered non-profit led by Purdue University. The organization was formed as a result of the 2009 federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and is funded through a four-year, $12 million grant. I-HITEC provides subsidized EHR adoption assistance, Meaningful Use coaching and discounted EHR products and services to Indiana’s small physician practices, public or critical access hospitals, community health centers or rural health clinics as well as other medical settings that serve the uninsured, underinsured, underserved or other at-risk populations. I-HITEC is tasked with educating and helping these entities transition from traditional, paper-based electronic health record management systems to federally-mandated electronic health record (EHR) technology. This initiative benefits Indiana through improvements to the state’s existing health information technology delivery system which will ultimately improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. To receive reimbursement from the federal stimulus program, Indiana’s healthcare providers must achieve and prove Meaningful Use of EHR software. I-HITEC plays a critical role in this process.
