CCI’s Commitment in California
$40 in IT infrastructure development in community health centers
6 years of lessons-learned and best practices
Today’s Exploration
• Widespread adoption of HIT in a community clinic setting
• Reimbursement models to support widespread adoption
• Inclusion and support of CHCs in HIT development and funding policy
• CHC’s contribution to the overall conversation about uses of HIT for the wider health system
• Role of HIT to reduce disparities and improve health status
CHCs are Fundamentally Different
• Care for people regardless of their ability to pay
• Attention on the overall health of communities, not just individual patients
• Patient population is harder to reach and more difficult to serve
• Heavily dependent on Medicaid reimbursement and federal and state grants
• Deliver high quality health care, often at a lower cost than other providers
