HQ Supported Development, Implementation, Use and Evaluation of Interoperable Health Information Systems to Achieve HIV/AIDS and TB Epidemic Control through Improved Health Informatics Policy, Governance, Workforce Capacity, and Systems under PEPFAR

Description

The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $20,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.PEPFAR 3.0 focuses on achieving sustainable control of the global HIV epidemic through a focus on transparency, accountability, and impact aligned with the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets. The strategy emphasizes accelerating testing and treatment strategies, expanding prevention, using quality data, supporting and strengthening country ownership, and leveraging partnerships with the public and private sectors. eHealth is foundational to achieving PEPFAR targets. As a result, health informatics is essential to manage the volume of patient data through (1) Design, development, implementation, evaluation, and use of secure, standards-based, interoperable health information systems (HIS) for data-driven decision-making for program improvement; (2) Development, implementation, evaluation and/or adoption of country eHealth/Digital Health strategies, governance, policies; (3) Development of indigenous health informatics capacity; and (4) Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of HIS implementation. Ongoing support for systems governance, interoperability, and workforce capacity are most necessary especially as countries need to optimize supply chain logistics, laboratory utilization, and human resources for health (HRH) staffing allocation based on site-level programmatic data; link disparate HIS to enable 95-95-95 tracking; and sustain PEPFAR’s strategic investments in HIS.
