In the ONC's December 21st announcement, this new system of records will be used by the ONC and its partners to assess, evaluate, improve and publicize the effectiveness of ONC health IT grants to States and State-designated entities. The datasets will enable the ONC to assess how well the grantees are doing compared to each other. The 62 regional health IT extension centers can also validate their progress reports and track performance improvements so they can receive payments. ONC intends to collect data about physicians' health IT implementation, demographics and contact information from their National Provider Identifier (NPI). “ONC partners and ONC grantees will only have access to data specifically pertaining to the achievement of that entity’s grant or contract purpose,” ONC said in its notice. The system will not contain information about patients, ONC assured. To read the ONC Action in its entirety, click here. |
