This information collection is being
requested in order that States can submit documentation to CMS for
review and approval in order that States can implement the Medicaid
program and draw down Federal financial participation. The American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 provides States with the
flexibility to request funds to develop a health information
technology vision and road to get to the ultimate goal of
meaningful use of certified EHR technology. We will be sending
State Medicaid Directors letters and templates for the SMHP, the
PAPD and IAPD to States in an effort to request these changes, if
they so choose and to make the process as simple as possible. These
documents will be collections of data and therefore, the need for
this information request.
