Regional Extension Center Logo Winner
A few weeks ago we posted the REC logos and asked you which you thought were a good brand. The votes are all in and it was clear that along with a winning logo, WIREC seems to have quite a connected community as well. Coming in second was CO-REC and a close third was HITEC-LA.
The WIREC provides assistance and support for eligible professionals located in the states of Washington and Idaho. The Center is supported by a consortium of partners that include; Community Choice Health Network, Idaho Health Data Exchange, Inland Northwest Health Services, North Idaho Health Network, PTSO of Washington, and Qualis Health. You can check out the REC’s participating providers and see who has successfully attested to meaningful use.

The Colorado Regional Extension Center assists and provides support to the state of Colorado. The Center has reported they have reached their goal of 2,295 enrolled providers. The logo we actually posted was the CORHIO logo. Robyn Leone from the REC told us that the REC is an initiative of CORHIO, the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization and sent us the actual REC logo. You will find their social media accounts through CORHIO. She also reports that they have assisted 226 EPs in achieving meaningful use.
