All 16 member organizations (CHCs and RHCs) in CPH are non-profit health care organizations providing primary health care to individuals in medically underserved areas. To provide quality and accessible health care to those medically needed, CPH and member organization rely heavily on funding from federal and state governments as well as charitable foundations. The investment in system-wide Health Information Technologies has been financially limited given the nature of the organizations. CPH and member organizations, through visionary leadership and cost-effective execution, have been able to adopt and implement advanced information technologies like EHR and data warehouse since early 1990s. There has been software updates and EHR upgrades, but the original design of the system still serve the information needs of the organization. This case study describes CPH in the health care environment, discusses the collaboration of six original individual CHCs to create CPH, the EHR and Data Warehouse projects at CPH, and then explains CPH\u2019s on-going operations and new challenges in the context of meaningful use and big data movement.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jcit.2013100104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,5]],"date-time":"2014-03-05T11:33:41Z","timestamp":1394019221000},"page":"45-62","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Using Electronic Health Records and Data Warehouse Collaboratively in Community Health Centers"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Zeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth J.","family":"Forrestal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leigh W.","family":"Cellucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael H.","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doug","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Community Partners HealthNet, Inc., Snow Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jcit.2013100104-0","unstructured":"Bureau of Primary Health Care.
