The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services is seeking applicants for a mini-grant that will provide access to an array of medical data provided by the Delaware Health Information Network.
Nearly 3 million patient records are available through the DHIN’s health information exchange (HIE).
“This mini-grant opportunity will help primary care practices to serve their patients more effectively by enriching the electronic data they have available for each patient,” Dr. Kara Odom Walker, the DHSS secretary, told EHR Intelligence.
Small primary care practitioners, behavioral health specialists, accountable care organizations, or federally qualified health centers not already using the DHIN tools can apply.
“The mini-grants also will help primary care practices to prepare for value-based care and improving health, which are critical to reducing the overall cost of healthcare across the spectrum,” Walker said.
The Delaware Health Care Commission, which will evaluate all submissions, plans to award up to 25 applicants. The maximum award is $8,000.
