The Wisconsin Health Information Technology Extension Center (WHITEC) provides unbiased support throughout the EHR process — from start to finish. Our first mission is to enable priority primary care providers in the state of Wisconsin to become meaningful users of electronic health record (EHR) technology.Operated as a division of MetaStar, WHITEC is the federally designated HIT Regional Extension Center for the state of Wisconsin. Created through the HITECH Act, a provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, WHITEC is the local presence for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. One of 62 such Regional Extension Centers throughout the nation, WHITEC is tasked with providing outreach, education, and technical assistance to small and independent primary care practices and small hospitals wanting to implement and achieve meaningful use of electronic health records. WHITEC's long term goal is ensuring that all health care professionals practicing in Wisconsin are able to achieve meaningful use of electronic health records and improve health care quality and efficiency in their practices. Services are available to all health care professionals across the continuum of care practicing in Wisconsin, but federal subsidies are available to priority primary care providers. WHITEC offers include meaningful use assessments, assistance with vendor selection, workflow redesign, privacy and security assessments, and more.
