Massachusetts has taken a national leadership role in seeking to achieve universal health insurance coverage for its residents. It has also been a leader in the development of health information technology, including the dissemination of electronic health records and health information exchanges. The Massachusetts eHealth Institute (MeHI), a non-divisible component of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC), has been established as a state-wide entity for coordinating and disseminating electronic health records (EHR) in provider settings networked through a health information exchange (HIE). The Governor has designated MeHI to be the applicable State agency to receive federal funding related to the Health Information Exchange. MeHI was awarded nearly $14M to support the expanded use of electronic health records among organizations according to nationally recognized standards through the development and implementation of a statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE). In addition, in January 2011, MeHI was selected for approximately $3.4M in additional federal funding under the HIE Challenge Program.

The Massachusetts eHealth Institute has an exciting new opportunity for a Project Manager. The Project Manager will be a part of a HIE program management team that will manage HIE projects including the two new major initiatives that are covered by new funding. These projects are ?Improving Massachusetts Post-Acute Care Transfers (IMPACT),? which has the goal of connecting post?acute providers to hospitals and physician offices, and ?Massachusetts Department of Public Health Net (MDPHNet),? a population-based surveillance network targeting a broad array of health indicators across multiple providers and delivery systems.
