The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted the final Local HIE Grant Program Request for Applications (RFA). The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Health Services Association (THSA) are developing a grant program to provide partial funding for the planning, implementation, and operations of local Health Information Exchange (HIE) initiatives and networks. The awarded grantees must deliver private, secure, and reliable HIE services to all Texas patients and providers through local HIE networks where the capacity exists and through contracts administered from the state level where it does not.
A copy of the RFA can be downloaded from the Electronic State Business Daily web site at: http://esbd.cpa.state.tx.us/bid_show.cfm?bidid=92416.
