2011 Minnesota e-Health Connectivity for Health Information Exchange Grant Program

The 2011 Minnesota e-Health Connectivity Grant Program for Health Information Exchange (HIE) was designed to address unmet needs related to health information exchange for qualifying clinics, hospitals and pharmacies. In particular, it aimed to:

Assist qualifying clinics and hospitals in rural and underserved communities that are currently unable to exchange health information electronically, and require assistance in selecting and/or connecting to a state certified health information exchange service provider. The qualifying clinics and hospitals must be potentially eligible, or employ professionals that are potentially eligible, for federal incentives for meaningful use of an EHR and must have a certified EHR partially implemented (installed and in use for some staff and providers) OR fully implemented (installed and in use for all [more than 90%] staff and providers).
Assist rural pharmacies serving ambulatory patients in cities with populations <10,000 that are currently unable to accept electronic prescriptions or meet the requirements for exchange without updating their existing systems.
