This announcement solicits applications for fiscal year (FY) 2017 Health Information Technology Capacity Building for the Integration of Medicaid & Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Data program. The purpose of this program is to support two (2) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B recipients to promote the statewide exchange of health information between RWHAP data systems and Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS). Improvement of HIV-related health information exchange capacity will enhance the ability of the States and Territories to more fully integrate care, treatment, and cost data, thus increasing the coordination of eligibility, care, and quality initiatives in their respective jurisdictional areas. For the purposes of this program, “States” include the District of Columbia and “Territories” include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
