Welcome to the Colorado Registration & Attestation System (CO R&A) — Provider Outreach Page

As the healthcare landscape continues to modernize, recent legislation was passed to encourage the adoption of Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) technology in documenting patient care. As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) eligible Medicaid providers, beginning in 2011, are offered financial incentives for the implementation and meaningful use of Health Information Technology (HIT) in the management of patient populations.

This website has been designed to provide information about Colorado's Medicaid EHR incentive payment program, federal meaningful use guidelines, and other helpful resources.

This program is just one of the ways that HIT is advancing throughout Colorado; for more information on statewide HIT initiatives visit the Governor's Office of Information Technology's website here.
