Sponsor: Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA)

To implement health information technologies (HIT) other than electronic health records. Other HIT advances include electronic prescribing, physician order entry, personal health records, community health records, health information exchanges, smart cards, using telehealth to advance previous investments (e.g., using e-prescribing to build a telepharmacy), and creating interoperability with outside partners such as health departments and other HRSA grantees. At the end of the project period, grantees must demonstrate that they have implemented the HIT innovation in the sites they initially proposed. Grantees must also demonstrate how this innovation has or will lead to improvements in health outcomes. All grantees must demonstrate steps taken to achieve sustainability of initiative.
