Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 11 137
The Rural Health Information Technology Network Development (RHITND) Program aims to enhance healthcare delivery in rural areas through the effective use of electronic health records (EHR) as established by the HITECH Act of 2009. This grant opportunity is designed to support rural organizations in achieving meaningful use of EHRs, which is more than just adoption; it involves utilizing technology to significantly improve care.
The program focuses on expanding access to healthcare, coordinating services, and improving quality by fostering collaboration among rural healthcare providers through formal networks, alliances, or partnerships. Importantly, funding cannot be used for direct service delivery but should assist networks in developing strategic planning and sustainability.
Expected benefits of the program include enhanced financial viability of networks, improved workforce recruitment and retention, optimized sharing of resources, and a focus on continuous quality improvement. The grant funds can support various activities such as workforce analysis, EHR strategic planning, training, equipment purchases, and broadband installation.
Applicants must demonstrate a history of collaboration and have a memorandum of understanding in place before applying. Overall, the RHITND Program aligns with broader goals of improving healthcare access, quality, and outcomes, contributing to the social and economic well-being of rural communities. For further details, resources are available on specified government health websites.Apply for HRSA 11 137
