One of the most frequently asked Consortium questions we receive is “Does THE Consortium have a list of vendors that are recommended?” While THE Consortium is vendor-neutral, we have extensive experience in working with various vendors for small practices and rural hospitals and will assist facilities looking for viable, trusted options. Through the Regional Extension Center (REC) grant in partnership with the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO), the Colorado REC partners (CRHC included), will be developing a “short list” of vendors for providers that will meet the incentive requirements for meaningful use and certification. For those of you who are wanting to discuss options prior to the official release of vendors, please contact David Ginsberg, Senior Advisor to THE Consortium, at dg@coruralhealth.org.
