   John,

   Great topic! I think it is tough for folks to keep track with the seemingly endless amount of meaningful use matrices out there. We built our matrix (http://wiki.galenhealthcare.com/Meaningful_Use_Matrix) off of HIS, and tried to provide insight to C-level decision-makers by highlighting which functionality is built-in to the EHR, as well as breaking out effort for a 50-provider organization based upon category (training, implementation, technical, etc.). Please also see a blog article touching on this topic: http://blog.galenhealthcare.com/2010/01/07/estimated-effort-to-exhibit-meaningful-use/

   Hi John,

   I’ve created a matrix over at Software Advice’s Medical blog:

   Hope you find it useful.

   Hi John,

   Apologies for being off-topic, but has anyone started a Web site to track which Regional Extension Centers are operating in which areas of the country? It might be worth having a similar blog posting on that subject as well.

   Chris,
   Thanks. I’ve added it to the list.

   Bill,
   I haven’t seen a list of places yet. In fact, I haven’t seen anyone awarded the contracts either. So, I’ve created a new page on the EMR and HIPAA wiki for people to submit when they find info: http://emrandhipaa.com/w/index.php?title=EHR_Regional_Extension_Centers&action=edit&redlink=1 Feel free to make a contribution if you know information about them.
