Project Feedback
|
Digital Community Action Network
Overview: Early childhood
development is crucial the future of America. Feedback | Digital Community Action
Network is an advanced web-based business intelligence platform for capturing HHS
community action services data. Community Action Agencies provide services and support
to help needy citizens overcome obstacles to self-sufficiency. Feedback helps Community
Action Agencies deliver the highest quality of services to people in need and ensure
compliance with electronic records and reporting requirements. It also empowers
State Community Action Associations with a suite of standard and custom reports
for compliance, program analysis and funding efforts.
Access: Feedback resides in the BroadRiver Enterprise
and be tailored and provided at no cost to all State Community Action Associations
and Community Action Agencies with priority for agencies that service disadvantaged
communities.
Economic Impact: This program creates an estimated
1,000+ new jobs across the nation for FTEs and PTEs, including positions for web
developers, database administrators, account managers, and support staff. Providing
this feature-rich web application to all State Community Action Associations and
Community Action Agencies at no-cost means they can work more efficiency and ensure
compliance with program requirements regarding electronic records. This will help
to ensure they can continue providing critical human services in their community
without interruption.
Project E-Health
Overview: HSFA is developing certified Electronic
Health Record (HER) technology for secure web-based access via the BroadRiver Enterprise. This application will allow physicians to log on securely, generate electronic prescriptions
and store digital patient medical records. These records will be accessible via
managed access for pharmacies and other physician-authorized representatives and
responsible organizations, e.g. Medicaid / Medicare.
Access: The resulting deliverable will be provided
to all physicians and related organizations at low or no cost of ownership based on their disadvantaged status or the community they service, specifically those
located in rural or other medically underserved areas, and safety net providers
that deliver a significant level of health care to uninsured individuals, Medicaid
beneficiaries, SCHIP beneficiaries, and other vulnerable individuals.
Economic Impact: This program creates an estimated
200+ new jobs across the nation for FTEs and PTEs, including positions for web developers,
support staff, program administrators and call center resources. By offering this
resource at
no cost, we allow more physicians to maintain complete and accurate
patient records, reducing the cost of medical care, increasing the efficiency of
their office and the administration of prescriptions as well as decreasing environmental
impact from paperwork reduction.
Reference: This project supports requirements
under Division A, Title XIII, “Health Information Technology”, and Division B, Title
IV, “Health Information Technology”, of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 and the current Administration’s Agenda on electronic health records.
Project Little Language
Overview: This program provides foreign language
resources to schools and community centers. It’s designed to target children from
grades 3 – 8
and teach them one or more foreign languages. The objective of this
program is to introduce multiple languages and cultures to children at an early
age when studies show they are most effectively absorbed. This program has the potential
to produce more qualified foreign services agents and result in a more culturally
sensitive America.
Access: Language learning resources will be
provided to schools and early childhood development programs at no cost.
Economic Impact: This program creates an estimated 150,000+ new jobs across the nation for
FTEs and PTEs, including positions for program
administrators, teachers, support staff, and Learning Center resources.
