Comparative Effectiveness Research is one of the highlights of Stimulus funding for healthcare IT, and $130 million of the more than $1 billion is available right now!
Funds will be used to accelerate the development and dissemination of research assessing the comparative effectiveness of health care treatments and strategies through efforts that conduct, support, or synthesize research that compares the clinical outcomes, effectiveness, and appropriateness of items, services and procedures that are used to prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases, disorders and other health conditions. Funds will be allocated to encourage the development and use of clinical registries, clinical data networks, and other forms of electronic health data that can be used to generate or obtain outcomes data.
Join HIMSS Grants Advantage Consultant Chris LaPage for a deep dive into these grants and how to get the most from this historic opportunity.
