The FHIN grants program provides grants to health-related institutions and organizations that seek assistance to plan, deploy, and evaluate interoperable health information exchange projects in clinical settings. The program does not provide support for the selection and installation of an electronic health record system or laboratory reporting system or other single-purpose information tool. Funded projects (grant categories 1 and 2) must include health information exchange among two or more competing provider organizations and demonstrate the sharing of health information for purposes of patient care and public health. The program will also provide grants (grant category 3) to organizations that wish to implement outreach and technical assistance activities to encourage the rapid adoption of electronic health records by physicians and other practitioners.
Florida-based not-for-profit organizations and institutions, universities and colleges, units of local government, and public health departments are eligible to apply.
