Abstract: A priority for HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care is to provide grants to Health Ccenter Controlled Networks (HCCN) to support and advance the adoption, implementation, and meaningful use of Health Information Technology to improve the quality of care provided by existing Health Center Program grantees. HCCNs will support participating health centers through their participation in the current and future stages of meaningful use included in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs. The CMS EHR Incentive Program provides incentive payments to the eligible health care providers as they adopt, implement, upgrade and demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology. Stage 1 sets the baseline for electronic data capture and information sharing. Also, Stage 1 meaningful use criteria focus heavily on establishing the functionalities in certified EHR technology that will allow for continuous quality improvement and ease of information exchange. There are two progress report forms and both are designed to collect aggregate performance data from grantees funded. The Project Work Plan Update and Annual Progress/Interim Evaluation Progress Report forms have three parts: 1) Adoption and Implementation of HIT (including EHR); 2) Attainment of Meaningful Use Requirements; and 3) Quality improvement measures (e.g., Healthy People 2020 clinical quality measures, PCMH recognition status).
