Overview

Mission

EKCITA was primarily formed for the improvement and demonstration of the secure and appropriate sharing of electronic health files and clinical data for the purpose of public health, patient care, and research. Furthermore, the organization seeks to develop, improve, and assist in the implementation of health information technology for all physicians, caregivers, health-related institutions, and consumers in, but not limited to, Southeast Kern County, California.

What it reported doing in 2013

Accomplishments include: 1) implemented electronic health record software and workflow in five medical offices; 2) developed interfacing feeds from the local hospital to push patient demographics, laboratory and radiology transcription reports to data repository; 3) developed interfacing feeds from clinics (utilizing e-MDs) to push patient data to repository; 4) developed automated backup-up server for 99% up time; and 5) communicated with reference labs to push results to repository.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
