Beacon Community Program

The Beacon Community Program is part of a larger health care improvement revolution that demonstrates how health IT investments and Meaningful Use of electronic health records (EHR) advance the vision of patient-centered care, while achieving the three-part aim of better health, better care at lower cost. In this presentation, ONC explains how the Beacon community program helps build and strengthen health IT infrastructure and exchange capabilities. ONC is providing $250 million over three years to 17 selected communities throughout the United States that have already made inroads in the development of secure, private, and accurate systems of EHR adoption and health information exchange. Learn more about Beacon communities, where they're located, and how they help pave the way for the future of health IT.
