Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: To address the purpose and measurable outcomes of the ARRA HITECH project, only CDC Immunization Program grantees that have a sufficient proportion of children participating in their IISs to permit adequate amounts of immunization data to be exchanged with EHRs are eligible to apply to this announcement. Competition is limited to the 33 Section 317 Immunization Program grantees with IIS participation for children
Grant Description: The purpose of this program is to provide support for the enhanced interoperability of EHR with IIS with a specific focus on the exchange of vaccination records and reducing the duplicate data entry burden on providers. Direct funding to state and local CDC Immunization Program grantees with IIS will be used to plan, enhance, adopt, and apply ONC endorsed health information technology standards for direct health care system interoperability. Enhanced EHR-IIS interoperability will improve the completeness of immunization histories available to clinicians and public health, improve the timeliness of immunization data submission to an IIS, improve the quality of IIS coverage assessments, and the data available to other public health systems (e.g. vaccine preventable disease surveillance units). Improved interoperability will also reduce extra immunization, thereby saving time and resources.
