Nebraska's Regional Extension Center

Wide River Technology Extension Center (TEC) is the Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center for Nebraska formed out of a federal grant aimed to assist healthcare providers in adopting electronic health records (EHRs) and achieve Meaningful Use of EHRs. Our goal is to get you to meet Meaningful Use as soon as possible to ensure you receive all available incentive funds and benefit from the quality and safety improvements of your EHR.

Wide River TEC is here to help you navigate the process, if you have any questions contact us via email or call 402-476-1700.
