(xv) Sole Source Justification:

The HIMSS Analytics Database provides access to the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ)

Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) data to conduct analysis regarding what hospital characteristics relate to health IT adoption, including how differing levels of health IT adoption and use impact on outcomes, and how organizational characteristics relate to or moderate that impact. The data collected by HIMSS Analytics, LLC are the only data that can provide the detail and level of data regarding health IT adoption at hospitals across the U.S. needed and that can be matched with HCUP data.

The HIMSS EMRAM Adoption Model is an eight-step process that will allow AHRQ to analyze a hospital’s level of EMR adoption, chart accomplishments, and track progress against other healthcare organizations across the country. EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) scores are provided via Excel spreadsheets. The database contains granular level IT data incorporating our EMR Adoption Model that no other source tracks. The HIMSS EMRAM Adoption Model is the only scale of its kind within the industry and is proprietary to HIMSS Analytics, LLC.
