HHS will disperse $2.5 million to improve health information exchange services, such as data services, public health registries, and connectivity services.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced $2.5 million in funding for health information exchanges (HIEs), aiming to support state and local public health agencies.
The organization said the funding would strengthen HIEs and public health agencies, ultimately helping communities prevent, respond, and recover from public health emergencies, such as COVID-19.
“The funding opportunity we announced today will invest in infrastructure and data services for HIEs that provide critical real-time information to communities at the frontlines of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Don Rucker, MD, national coordinator at ONC, said in a statement.
