The document provides an overview of Maryland's Regional Extension Center (REC) program and its goals of assisting healthcare providers in selecting and implementing electronic health record (EHR) technology to improve healthcare quality and exchange of health information. The REC will work with designated Management Service Organizations (MSOs) to provide education, outreach, and technical assistance to 1000 primary care providers. MSOs will help providers implement EHRs, achieve meaningful use milestones, and connect to the state's health information exchange network. The REC aims to advance health in Maryland by facilitating widespread EHR adoption among providers.
