Opportunity Summary:
The Electronic Health Record Implementation Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-198) was a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs) carry out new implementations of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The central purpose of the opportunity was to promote EHR adoption as a practical tool for improving the quality of care delivered in health centers, while also strengthening the ability of those centers and networks to track and improve both individual patient outcomes and broader population health measures. In other words, the program aimed to move health centers toward more reliable, data-driven clinical care by funding the foundational work needed to put EHR systems in place and use them effectively.
This was a grant (not a contract) within the health funding activity category, listed under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers. HRSA expected to make three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically makes participation more feasible for safety-net organizations that may not have large reserves or flexible capital budgets for technology projects.
Eligibility focused on public and nonprofit entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, but only when they fit one of the specified health center network-related categories. Eligible applicants included: (1) a network controlled by and acting on behalf of health centers as defined and funded under section 330(e)(1)(C) of the Public Health Service Act; (2) a section 330-funded health center applying on behalf of a managed care network or plan, provided the health center had received federal grants under section 330(e)(1)(A) for at least the two consecutive preceding years; or (3) a section 330-funded health center applying on behalf of a practice management network, again with the requirement of having received section 330(e)(1)(A) funding for at least the two consecutive preceding years. These criteria reflect HRSA's intent to place funds with established health center organizations and networks that were already operating in the federal health center program and positioned to implement EHRs across multiple sites or practices.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on January 6, 2009 (created January 7, 2009), with an application deadline of March 4, 2009. The listing was later archived on June 17, 2009. Applicants seeking the full announcement and instructions were directed to the HRSA grants website, and HRSA provided access support through its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772, with an alternate number 301-998-7373) for organizations that had difficulty accessing the materials electronically.
Overall, this initiative was designed to accelerate EHR implementation in the community health center environment by supporting network-led adoption, with the broader goal of improving care quality and strengthening population-health-oriented services through better clinical information systems.
