Program Information

Program Number

93.851

Program objective

Significant federal investments to accelerate the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and exchange of clinical data are now in place. It is critical to continue to track the adoption and use of EHRs and related insights to: (1) ascertain the status of adoption and evaluate existing and proposed policy decisions; (2) evaluate the impact of ONC programs and related incentives for meaningful use; and (3) make resources available to ONC and external researchers to assess the effects of health IT adoption and exchange on key aspects of care, such as quality and efficiency. The data generated under this funding opportunity will enable ONC and researchers to carry out these important activities for inpatient settings. The program was also set up to measure the use of health information technology (IT) among office-based physicians. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to measure the use and impacts of health IT, and level of interoperability among a nationally representative sample of U.S. office-based physicians. The cooperative agreement is intended to produce national-level data on interoperability and use of health IT by office-based physicians. These data shall provide national-level insights on the implementation and effects of federal health IT policies as well as identify disparities or unintended consequences resulting from their implementation.
