Developing Integrated Maternal and Child Health Information Systems: Promoting the Use of Health Information Systems
Sponsor: Health Resources & Services Administration
Submitted: 2/28/2011 12:00:00 AM
Health Resources & Services Administration seeks to further Health Information Technology (HIT) development processes in the field of maternal and child health. Support is needed to enhance health information exchange collaborations among institutions that work to provide health and preventive services to the maternal and child health population. The current funding activity is intended to further two public health HIT areas of need with two separate projects. The goal of Project 1 is to define the business processes of Immunization Information Systems and it is to incorporate standards and certification criteria endorsed by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) and will directly feed into the RFPs states (those who have not received Centers for Disease Control and Prevention interoperability grants). Development of collaborative requirements will help to ensure more consistent and higher quality functionality, ultimately at lower costs. The goal of Project 2 is to assist states to implement a web-based electronic birth records system based on the 2003 Standard Birth Certificates, incorporating the standards recommended by the National Association of Public Health Statistics and Information Systems and the National Center for Health Statistics of the CDC. Applicants may apply for Project 1 or Project 2, but not both projects simultaneously.
Up to three awards with division of total funding of $600,000 is available. Eligibility includes any public or private entity, including an Indian tribe or tribal organization (as those terms are defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), and faith based and community-based organizations.
Deadline: March 28, 2011
