Rural Providers' EHR Advocate to Step Down
Cora Nucci, for HealthLeaders Media, February 9, 2011
These are some of the services most RECs can provide:
- Strategic planning
- Stakeholder analysis & engagement
- Governance planning
- Information architecture development
- Policy development
- Operational planning
- Vendor review & contracting
- Change management
- Project management
The ONC has big shoes to fill when Blumenthal leaves. It may be tough to find as passionate an advocate as the physician-turned-EHR evangelist who kept rural healthcare providers on his radar. Let's hope his successor makes it a priority to speed the implementation of EHR far and wide, so that all Americans may benefit, not only those who live in or near large cities.
Cora Nucci is the Senior Online Editor for HealthLeaders Media.

"Let's hope ..." ? Maybe I missed the editorial label - advocacy is not reporting.
