Opportunity Summary:
The FY13 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for the Adoption and Implementation of Health Information Technology in Family Planning Services Grants Region 2 (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 13 043) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Office of Population Affairs within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. Its central purpose is to help Title X family planning service sites modernize and strengthen their health information technology (HIT) capabilities so they can continue delivering high-quality, primary and preventive reproductive health care as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reshapes coverage, payment, and care delivery. The program is framed around the idea that family planning providers will need more robust electronic systems not only to care for established patients, but also to serve newly insured clients and to operate successfully in a more complex environment that increasingly expects electronic documentation, reporting, quality measurement, and third-party billing.
The grant focuses specifically on supporting the adoption and implementation of HIT that enables providers to meet federal "meaningful use" expectations tied to certified electronic health record (EHR) technology and to position sites to access Medicaid and Medicare EHR incentive payments. In practical terms, applicants are expected to use funds to adopt and implement certified EHR technology, help family planning centers achieve meaningful use requirements (which can unlock incentive payments under the EHR incentive programs), and advance clinical and operational improvement through better use of HIT. The opportunity emphasizes that modern electronic technologies are essential not only for clinical quality, but also for meeting administrative and financial requirements, such as documentation standards, reporting obligations, and billing processes.
A key theme throughout the announcement is that HIT investments should translate into real operational benefits for Title X projects and their service sites. Applications are expected to explain how proposed upgrades will improve quality of care, increase access to care, and strengthen the ability to participate in broader provider networks. The announcement also highlights concrete outcomes that applicants should address, including strengthening third-party billing capacity (so clinics can bill insurers and other payers more effectively), supporting Medicaid enrollment efforts, establishing or enhancing electronic medical records/electronic health records (EMR/EHR) systems, and generally meeting ACA-era expectations for performance, coordination, and accountability. The underlying goal is to ensure that Title X family planning providers are not left behind as health care moves toward more interoperable, data-driven, and value-oriented models.
Eligibility is limited to Title X family planning service grantees that were funded as of June 30, 2013. Local and regional public or private nonprofit entities that meet that Title X grantee status may apply directly. Subrecipient agencies cannot apply on their own; if a clinic or subrecipient wants support, it must be included within an application submitted by the Title X grantee. The opportunity restricts each Title X grantee to submitting only one application, but that single application may cover activities or products that benefit multiple subrecipients and/or multiple service sites. Applications must clearly describe how grant funds will be used and identify which agencies within the Title X project will be supported.
From a funding structure standpoint, the program anticipated up to 100 awards. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $250,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.217 (Family Planning Services). The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2013, and it was archived on June 16, 2013. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health.
