Webinar: Beacon Communities Reshaping Landscape for HIT and Population Health
Tuesday, Oct. 26, 1-2 p.m. Eastern Time — Presented by the Care Continuum Alliance
Federally supported “Beacon Communities” are at work now defining how health information technology will support accountable, evidence-based care in communities – especially for care of chronic conditions. Backed by $235 million in federal grants, 15 communities across the country are serving as Beacon Community pilots for eventual wide-scale, performance-based use of technology to improve our health care delivery system.
The goal of the webinar is to address
- The fundamental nature and vision of the Beacon Community Program
- How the Beacon Program will influence nationwide delivery system reform and be a guide-path toward developing community infrastructures
- Other implications for the future of healthcare delivery
Why You Need to Know About Beacon Communities
Beacon Communities will:
- Create a roadmap for achieving meaningful use of HIT on a community-wide basis.
- Show how HIT can make measurable improvements in quality, cost efficiency and population health.
- Demonstrate how EHRs and health information exchange aid coordinated care for chronic conditions.

Stakeholders in population health management and care coordination need to understand how Beacon Communities will reshape the landscape for accountable care and HIT.
