As a federally-designated “Regional Extension Center,” the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program (NC AHEC) provides individualized, on-site electronic health record (EHR) consulting tailored to your practice’s specific needs at no charge to you.
The North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communications Alliance, Inc. (NCHICA) is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to assisting members in accelerating the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system through the effective use of information technology, informatics and analytics.
The National Library of Medicine provides free access to vocabulary standards, applications, and related tools that can be used to meet US EHR certification criteria and to achieve Meaningful Use of EHRs. Below are resources either created by or supported by NLM that can be used for providing patient-specific education materials, e-prescribing, and creating, exchanging, and interpreting standardized lists of problems, medications, and test results.

"...considers manuscripts on all aspects of workflow for information systems, decision support systems, client user networks, database management, and data mining. The journal aims to publish source code for distribution and use in the public domain in order to advance biological and medical research. Through this dissemination, it may be possible to shorten the time required for solving certain computational problems for which there is limited source code availability or resources.
Fundamentally, the overarching computation-related goals of the journal are to:
* Increase productivity among source code users working on problems of public and environmental health importance
* Reduce discovery times in molecular and genomic sciences
* Reduce search times for source code applied in biological and medical research
* Provide a historical reflection of source code applied in various fields
* Serve as a repository for source code"
Technology… is making it easier than ever for doctors and patients to communicate and share information, and the imPatient Movement is about helping everyone involved take an urgent and active role in getting (and keeping) the conversation going.
