for opportunity to advance the use of HIT in settings of all types. These programs may also be a great fit for your existing staff members who wish to grow in their ability to support the practice/clinic. The REC/LEC can tell you more. Sharing Learning Being part of a movement can be exciting. Connecting with peers on the same journey can make the process less scary and provide opportunity for sharing practical tips and great discoveries. RECs should be able to facilitate providers collaborative learning. At least one REC is planning to create office manager support groups as a strategy to strengthen its practice/clinic customers. Others may do so as well. Being siloed is no fun. With the increasing use of hospitalists and lost camaraderie of the physicians’ lounge, many primary care physicians find their ability to interact informally with their peers about clinical matters more limited than they would like. The REC programs create a new venue for exchange of ideas among clinicians and staff from many settings. Physicians are encourages to ask the REC about how it can help connect them to others for sharing experiences and ideas during this important journey.
