| Description: |
Millions of people with HIV/AIDS now have extended life spans as a result of targeted HIV testing services and scale-up of effective anti-retroviral therapy, resulting in increased need to (1) effectively manage large volumes of data; (2) accurately track patient cohorts across space and time; (3) track utilization of human and material resources, and (4) support evidence-driven decisions. Interoperable health information systems (HIS), including electronic medical records and laboratory information systems, are essential tools for collecting, managing, and using these data. The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support the (1) design, development, implementation, and evaluation of HIS; (2) improve policy, governance, and infrastructure needed to implement HIS, (3) protect, secure, standardize, exchange and share data to improve health and increase sustainability and country ownership; and (4) sustain informatics workforce and capacity development. |
