The Digital Quality Measures (dQMs) and Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) screening use cases are part of the HIE Medicaid Services (HMS) program, a new initiative supporting NC Medicaid’s quality and population health efforts. Provider organizations may be eligible for financial incentives for supporting innovation in dQMs and HRSN screening data exchange.
The HMS Early Adopters program, led by the NC Health Information Exchange Authority (HIEA) and NC Medicaid, provides funding and hands-on support to provider organizations willing to lead the way in advancing these efforts. Early adopters will play a key role in shaping the future of health data exchange in North Carolina.
For more information about the program, including eligibility requirements, key activities and funding amounts, review the HMS Early Adopters program overview document.
Provider organizations interested in participating in the program should complete this Microsoft Form. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with the first cohort aiming to be identified in May of this year.
