Our Mission:
To advance the health and wellness of Marylanders by deploying health information technology solutions adopted through cooperation and collaboration. We will enable the Maryland healthcare community to appropriately and securely share data, facilitate and integrate care, create efficiencies, and improve outcomes.
CRISP is a not-for-profit membership corporation advised by a wide range of stakeholders responsible for the healthcare of Maryland’s citizens. We receive input and advice from patients; hospital systems; physicians; insurance providers; technology providers; privacy advocates; public health officials; and advocates for seniors, the uninsured, and the medically underserved.
CRISP is formally designated Maryland’s statewide HIE by the Maryland Health Care Commission, as directed by the state’s legislature and Gov. Martin O’Malley. CRISP has also been named Maryland’s Regional Extension Center (REC) by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), with an objective of assisting 1,000 primary care providers to deploy Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and achieve meaningful use by 2012.
Together, CRISP’s REC and HIE efforts serve to advance health and wellness of Marylanders by helping healthcare providers to EHRs in a meaningful way and enabling those providers to share clinical data with other providers and hospital systems across the state.
