President Barack Obama announced today the awarding of millions of dollars to help health centers around the country. The money will go toward new construction, Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other Health Information Technology (HIT) systems in facilities spanning 30 states. To qualify for funding a health center must be a federally qualified community health center. Some grants will be distributed through the Facility Investment Program (FIP) program.
President Obama directed the Department of Health and Human Services to implement a demonstration initiative designed to evaluate the impact of the advanced primary care practice model on access, quality and cost of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries served by community health centers.
This model, known as the “medical home,” promotes accessible, continuous, and coordinated family-centered care. Developed and administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the demonstration will last three years. CMS anticipates that up to 500 health centers will participate.
