This grant, offered by the Office of Epidemiology, Policy, and Evaluation (OEPE), seeks applications to develop integrated Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Information Systems and promote Health Information Technology. A primary OEPE goal is to build MCH data capacity nationally, with emphasis on electronic health information exchange. This initiative supports a key presidential healthcare objective: increasing electronic health technology use to control costs and reduce medical errors. Furthermore, the project aligns with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB)’s five broad goals, including providing MCH national leadership, promoting supportive environments, eliminating health disparities, improving care systems, and assuring quality. OEPE has designed two related projects to advance these MCH promotion and health information exchange objectives.
