The intent of RHITND is to support
the adoption and use of electronic
health records (EHR) in coordination
with the ongoing HHS activities related
to the Health Information Technology
for Economic and Clinical Health
(HITECH) Act (Pub. L. 111–5). This
legislation provides HHS with the
authority to establish programs to
improve health care quality, safety, and
efficiency through the promotion of
health information technology,
including EHR.
For this program, performance
measures were drafted to provide data
useful to the program and to enable
HRSA to provide aggregate program data
required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62).
These measures cover the principal
topic areas of interest to the Office of
Rural Health Policy (ORHP), including:
(a) Access to care; (b) the underinsured
and uninsured; (c) workforce
recruitment and retention; (d)
sustainability; (e) health information
technology; (f) network development;
and (g) health-related clinical measures.
Several measures will be used for this
program. These measures will speak to
ORHP’s progress toward meeting the
goals set.
