Can I get HRSA grant funds to adopt and meaningfully use certified EHR technology?
Yes, HRSA grants can be used to adopt and meaningfully use certified EHR technology. HRSA grants are another means of encouraging eligible providers to purchase health IT equipment and systems and to use them in an efficient, effective manner. These grants target providers serving Medicaid populations, as it is HRSA’s mission to serve uninsured and medically vulnerable populations.
