FAQ Topics: HHS Health IT Alignment Program, General

What if I use health IT as a part of my program implementation but it is not explicitly mentioned in my funding award? Should I use health IT standards?

Yes. There are many benefits to incorporating relevant health IT standards as appropriate and feasible into a program such as for supporting grantee reporting and advancing the interoperable use of health data. Relevant health IT data standards may include ONC-adopted standards as well as standards found within the Interoperability Standards Platform.
