About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary administers the High Impact Pilot Awards (CFDA 93.882) to fund pilots advancing interoperable exchange of electronic health data using standards that improve health care delivery, patient outcomes, and cost. The program has not issued grant awards since September 2016.

The program funds concrete pilots demonstrating interoperability across health systems and care settings. Recent awards show the scope spans FHIR-enabled prescription decision support integrated within electronic health records, interoperable pharmacist care planning, and closed-loop surgical referrals with digital dashboards. Applicants must address at least three clinical domains and use standards to advance interoperability; collaborative proposals across multiple organizations are encouraged and evaluated on innovation, partnership leverage, evaluation rigor, and cost. All awardees must measure progress and produce final evaluation reports documenting lessons learned.

The portfolio comprises four awards totaling $1.2 million in federal dollars obligated, all issued in a single tranche on September 16, 2016. The assistance-type mix is evenly split between Cooperative Agreements (50 percent) and Project Grants (50 percent). The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary accounts for 100 percent of awards and federal dollars. Award values ranged from $217 thousand to $404 thousand. Representative recent awards include FHIR-enabled prescription decision support for Banner Health ($315,943 as a Cooperative Agreement), supporting closed-loop surgical referrals with a SMART on FHIR dashboard ($404,110 as a Project Grant), and interoperable pharmacist care planning ($217,207 as a Project Grant).

The source contains no recent grant opportunities or solicitations. The program has issued no awards in the past ten years and no Funding Opportunity Announcement dates are documented. Do not pursue this program unless new opportunity announcements appear.

Objective and description

Objective

The purpose of these pilots is to advance a scalable process of interoperable exchange of electronic health data using standards that will improve the delivery of how and where health care is delivered, improve patient outcomes, and reduce cost. These pilots will be administered as Cooperative Agreements so as to foster an interactive and collaborative dialogue that stimulates innovation and focuses efforts in a harmonized manner. All awardees will be expected to measure the progress of their pilots and the level of impact towards the advancement of interoperability and produce a final evaluation report that includes lessons learned.

Eligibility

Applicant eligibility

The objective of this award is to advance a scalable process of interoperable exchange of electronic health data using standards that will improve the delivery of how and where health care is delivered, improve patient outcomes, and reduce cost. Collaborative groups of multiple stakeholders across different organizations will be considered, as well as encouraged, to support widespread interoperability.

Beneficiary eligibility

As health care delivery impacts everyone, the beneficiary eligibility includes all of the listed groups.

Credentials and documentation

If applicants intend to apply as a collaborative group, a list of confirmed and potential participants need to be included as part of the application; letters of commitment from confirmed participants will also be required. Applicants must also be able to provide sufficient documentation that show their ability to advance the use of interoperable standards for the electronic exchange of health data in their identified use case, including but not limited to a project plan addressing the SOW from the FOA and proposed timeline, budget proposal on how they would use the award money, existing health IT infrastructure, certification of any current health IT module(s), and list of key personnel, including a CV.

How to apply

Application procedure

Applicants are expected to provide a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) application that address all of the requirements as described in the FOA's statement of work (SOW). For purposes of encouraging innovation and interoperable cooperation, collaborative groups of different organizations will be considered, as well as encouraged. If this is a collaborative response, applicants should designate a primary applicant who will be the primary organization responsible for all deliverables and reports, including financial reports. A complete list of project partners (both confirmed and potential) should be included in the FOA application; if a partner is confirmed, a letter of commitment should be included.

Criteria for selecting proposals

Proposals will be reviewed by a review panel comprised of no less than one (1) federal employees and subject matter experts (non-federal employees). Each proposal will receive a score based on strength and merit of their proposals, their ability to meet the scope of their proposed projects and the identified outcomes and objectives, and their use case. Selection criteria will include, but not be limited to, meeting the scope of work requirements, addressing an selected priority area, selection of no less than three (3) domains, the use of standards to advance interoperability, their evaluation and measurement plan, estimated cost of their proposal, if the applicants are leveraging partnerships, and other criteria yet to be determined.

Award procedure

Awarding agency will issue the FOA for a 60-day window. At the end of the 60-day application period, the awarding agency will review all applications over a 30- day window. The award review process will include award review panels comprised of subject matter experts and at least one federal employee. The awarding agency will inform all applicants in writing the status of their application (awarded, not awarded). Applicant awardees will be provided with the terms and conditions of their award, and will commence working with the awarding agency to implement their pilot. If the awardee is a collaborative (primary applicant with subawardees), all awardees will be subject to the terms and conditions of the award; however, the primary awardee will be responsible for all deliverables and reports, including financial reports. The awarding agency will provide oversight of the awards, including but not limited to quarterly reporting. These awards will be issued as Cooperative Agreements and it is the expectation of the awarding agency that the awardees work together in carrying out the activities contemplated in the agreement.

Renewals

Renewals may be available if the applicant is able to successfully show progress towards achieving specified goals.
