Description:
Data Across Sectors for Health: Empowering Communities Through Shared Data and Information would provide grants to community collaborations and initiatives that have used shared data and information to increase their capacity for planning, implementing, and evaluating health improvement activities.
These community collaborations would be part of a nationwide learning collaborative that would create and share models, and document barriers, solutions, lessons learned, best practices, promising innovations, sustainable examples, and opportunities for replication.
Proposed projects should support sharing, linking, and combining data to create, maintain, or expand an existing implementation of health information technology that leverages clinical encounter data.
Projects should be designed to improve community health and well-being and result in benefits at the individual, family, and community levels.
