Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 08 270
The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Utilizing Health Information Technology (IT) to Improve Health Care Quality (R18)" aims to support demonstration projects focused on health IT. The primary goal is to evaluate the factors that contribute to the successful implementation and use of health IT, with the intention of enhancing the quality, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of care in outpatient settings and during transitions between different care environments.
Despite evidence showing that health IT can improve healthcare outcomes in large systems, there has been limited research on its implementation in ambulatory care and during transitions. This FOA encourages real-world projects that identify both the facilitators and barriers to health IT success. Such factors may include the training and engagement levels of healthcare staff, patients, and families, the characteristics of healthcare settings, workflows, the comprehensiveness of implementation plans, and the nature of technical support.
Applicants must focus on evaluating ways to optimize the functionality of existing health IT, explore its application in new environments or among different provider or patient groups, or demonstrate the sustainability of these technologies.Apply for PAR 08 270
