The Health Resources and Services Administration is preparing to offer $850 million in one-time grants under the economic stimulus law for capital improvements to federally funded community health centers. The improvements can include acquisition of health information systems.

In a notice published May 4 in the Federal Register, HRSA is seeking final approval from the Office of Budget and Management for dissemination of a Electronic Health Records Readiness Checklist. Grant applicants would provide information using the checklist to demonstrate comprehensive planning and readiness for implementing EHRs.

HRSA in a separate notice is seeking quick approval of another checklist that community health center applicants would use to show compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. More information is available at gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html.
