Understanding that technology could have a revolutionary impact on health care, Michigan has been exploring and implementing Health Information Technology and Health Information Exchange (HIT & HIE) for several years. The health care industry in Michigan has achieved huge advancements in adopting Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and improving interoperability across HIT systems and health care organizations.
The Michigan Health IT website is a resource for health care professionals, hospitals, payers, provider association groups, and patients. The site provides information on the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program and its benefits to Michigan providers and hospitals. The site also maintains initiatives and programs that are available to Michigan’s health care providers and Medicaid patients.
