Notice of Single-Award Deviation From
Competition Requirements for the
National Center for Medical Home
Implementation Cooperative
Agreement
Health Resources and Services
Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Single-Award
Deviation from Competition
Requirements for the National Center for
Medical Home Implementation
Cooperative Agreement.
AGENCY:
HRSA announces the award
of a supplement in the amount of
$300,000 per year for two years for the
National Center for Medical Home
Implementation (NCMHI) Cooperative
Agreement cooperative agreement. The
purpose of the NCMHI cooperative
agreement, as stated in the funding
opportunity announcement, is to: (1)
Support a national resource and
assistance effort to implement and
spread the medical home model to all
children and youth, particularly
children with special health care needs
(CSHCN), children who are vulnerable
and/or medically underserved, and
pediatric populations served by state
public health programs, MCHB and
HRSA; and (2) support activities of the
Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for
Children Program (HTPCP) grantees to
improve children’s health through
innovative community-based efforts,
and community and statewide
partnerships among professionals in
health, education, social services,
government, and business. The
supplement will permit the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the
cooperative agreement awardee, during
the budget periods of 7/1/2016–6/30/
2017 and 7/1/2017–6/30/2018, to
provide technical assistance to the Rural
IMPACT communities as they employ
two-generation strategies to more
effectively support children living in
poverty in rural communities, including
the implementation and spread of the
family-centered medical home model of
health care.

Intended Recipient of the Award: The
American Academy of Pediatrics.
Amount of Non-Competitive Awards:
$600,000.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 7/1/
2016–6/30/2017 and 7/1/2017–6/30/
2018.
CFDA Number: 93.110.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title
V, sections 501(a)(1)(D) and 501(a)(2),
(42 U.S.C. 701(a)(1)(D) and 701(a)(2)).
Justification: The White House Rural
Council initiated the Rural IMPACT
project to support improved well-being
and upward economic mobility of
children in rural and tribal
communities. Ideally, systems and
services are designed to meet family’s
needs, and are linked together so that
families can access them seamlessly
through universal ‘‘no wrong door’’
intake processes and shared referral
networks. Components of the Rural
IMPACT project include Healthy Start,
Early Head Start, Head Start, Home
Visiting, WIC, Medical Home, Quality
Child Care Education Job Training and
income and nutrition supports such as
TANF cash assistance, Supplemental
Security Income, and the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program. The goal
of Rural IMPACT is to ensure the
healthy development of at-risk children
and increase the education and
employment opportunities of their
parents, thereby improving the wellbeing of families.
Rural IMPACT project continues to be
a high priority of the White House Rural
Council, and support for the ten Rural
IMPACT communities will continue to
be an interagency effort including, in
addition to HHS, the Departments of
Agriculture, Education, Labor, and the
Corporation for National and
Community Service.
The purpose of the NCMHI
cooperative agreement, as stated in the
funding opportunity announcement, is
to: (1) Support a national resource and
assistance effort to implement and
spread the medical home model to all
children and youth, particularly
children with special health care needs
(CSHCN), children who are vulnerable
and/or medically underserved, and
pediatric populations served by state
public health programs, MCHB and
HRSA; and (2) support activities of the
Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for
Children Program (HTPCP) grantees to
improve children’s health through
innovative community-based efforts,
and community and statewide
partnerships among professionals in
health, education, social services,
government, and business. The Rural
IMPACT Project activities align with the
PO 00000

current project plan, as the NCMHI
advances system changes and new
initiatives at the community, state, and
national levels, building on community
partnerships to support family-centered
medical home implementation for all
children and youth, particularly those
underrepresented and from diverse
communities (Goal 3).
In 2013, following objective review of
its application, HRSA awarded the
NCMHI cooperative agreement to the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),
a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization
under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3).
In 2015, HRSA awarded a $300,000
supplement to the NCMHI cooperative
agreement to allow the AAP to build on
its existing work under the cooperative
agreement to implement and spread the
medical home model in Rural IMPACT
project communities, thereby advancing
the well-being of children in those
communities.
From August 2015 to June 2016, AAP,
as part of the NCMHI cooperative
agreement, established an expert
workgroup and operational structure to
guide the initiative; developed and
issued a solicitation and scoring
process, and conducted a review of
applications to make recommendations
for participating communities. Since the
identification of ten rural and tribal
communities, the AAP has provided
technical assistance to support their
efforts to develop and begin
implementing two-generation service
delivery models to address the needs of
both vulnerable children and their
parents.
From July 2016 to June 2018, the ten
participating communities will
implement their action plans. Ongoing
support is needed to assist the
communities in implementation as well
as evaluation, sustainability, and
dissemination of information. This
supplement will provide additional
funds, through the NCMHI cooperative
agreement, to provide technical
assistance to the Rural IMPACT
communities as they employ twogeneration strategies to more effectively
support children living in poverty in
rural communities, including the
implementation and spread of the
family-centered medical home model of
health care.

approved test tools and test procedures
for certification criteria adopted by the
Secretary, that ONC would publish a
notice of availability in the Federal
Register and identify the approved test
tools and test procedures on the ONC
Web site.
In the 2015 Edition final rule, the
Secretary adopted additional and
revised certification criteria (80 FR
62601) and on February 4, 2016, the
National Coordinator approved test
tools and test procedures for testing
Health IT Modules for the majority of
the 2015 Edition certification criteria
under the ONC Health IT Certification
Program. ONC then published the
‘‘Notice of Availability: 2015 Edition
Test Tools and Test Procedures
Approved by the National Coordinator
for the ONC Health IT Certification
Program’’ in the Federal Register (81 FR
6022). However, that publication of
approved test tools and test procedures
did not include the 2015 Edition
certification criteria specifically related
to electronic clinical quality
measurement (eCQM) in order to allow
for alignment of those testing tools and
test procedures with the timing of the
CMS annual update of the eCQM
specifications.
The National Coordinator has recently
approved the test tools and test
procedures for testing Health IT
modules for four 2015 Edition
certification criteria related to clinical
quality measurement. The approved test
tools and test procedures for the 2015
Edition ‘‘Clinical Quality Measures—
record and export’’ certification
criterion (§ 170.315(c)(1)), ‘‘Clinical
Quality Measures—import and
calculate’’ certification criterion
(§ 170.315(c)(2)), ‘‘Clinical Quality
Measures—report’’ certification
criterion (§ 170.315(c)(3)), and the
‘‘Clinical Quality Measures—filter’’
certification criterion (§ 170.315(c)(4))
are identified on the ONC Web site at:
https://www.healthit.gov/policyresearchers-implementers/2015-editiontest-method. The test tools and test
procedures that were previously
approved by the National Coordinator
(81 FR 6022) for the 2015 Edition
certification criteria are also available
for review at the Web site listed above.
