You are correct, most of the 60 REC's, are still under development. Hence, the successes aren't there to share yet. The REC's are receiving funding based upon 3 actions 1) Recruiting physicians to use their services 2) Selection and Implementation of an EHR by the doctor 3) Assisstance in achieving MU. The funding is typically $5,000 per physician, $1000 for action 1, $2000 and $2000 respectively. Again...its to early to gauge any centers effectiveness at this incubating stage. However, there are some concerns that the $5000 per doctor is not enough and is one factor that puts them in the position to fail. Additionally some physicians are concerned that some REC's (Medical Schools), do not understand the needs, workflow, and dynamics of the small 1-3 doc practice. I will be addressing some of this in a forthcoming blog!
