Through this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is accepting applications for a cooperative agreement to measure the use of health information technology (IT) among office-based physicians.
Donor Name: Office of the National Coordinator
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/22/2024
Size of the Grant: $100,000 to $500,000
Grant Duration: 5 Years
Details:
The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to support conducting national surveys to assess the extent to which physicians use interoperable health IT and their experience using that technology to support the effective care of their patients. This information will provide important insight into whether Federal policy is having the intended effect of leading to better health enabled by data and to highlight remaining challenges, inadequacies, and pain points to using interoperable health IT to easily use information from diverse sources to provide effective patient care. This information is intended to inform ongoing policy and coordination work by ONC to address remaining barriers to the widespread use of interoperable health IT.
Performance Goals
- Develop survey questions that align with physicians’ understanding and use of health IT to support key measures on interoperability and health IT use by U.S. physicians providing outpatient care.
- Ensure that survey questions are developed so that they will result in high quality and valid data that reflects physicians’ perspectives.
- Collect survey responses from U.S. physicians providing outpatient care to produce national level estimates on key health IT measures with a response rate over 50%.
- Collaborate and coordinate with ONC on the analysis and interpretation of results, and publication of written products that assess physicians’ use of interoperable health IT and their experience using that technology to support the effective care of their patients (e.g., assess interoperability and health IT use by U.S. providing outpatient care).
- Develop a strategy for continued valid and representative measurement of the use of health IT.
