The UMB Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) is sharing the following Request for Information (RFI) from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB):
Integrating At-Home Test Results with Electronic Health Records
At-home tests for COVID-19, influenza, and pregnancy are widely available, with additional types of home tests expected to reach the market in the near future. Through its Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx®) Mobile At-home Reporting through Standards (MARS) program, NIBIB has developed data standards, pathways, and tools to facilitate standardized reporting of at-home test results into public health systems. Yet there remains no universal solution for streamlined reporting of at-home test results into patient electronic health record (EHR) systems.
NIBIB is seeking input on the technical feasibility and practical implications of integrating at-home test results with EHRs.
The goal of this RFI is to better understand 1) the technical feasibility of a universal approach to pushing at-home test results into EHRs, and 2) stakeholder viewpoints on the benefits and drawbacks of such an approach.
We invite comments from health information technology (IT) developers, health care organizations, health care providers, pharmacies, payors, patients, and others who have input on the topic.
Details and how to submit a response can be found at grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-EB-24-010.html.
Deadline: July 26, 2024, 11:59 p.m. ET
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) encourages organizations (e.g., patient advocacy groups, health care organizations) to submit a single response reflective of the views of the organization and membership as a whole.
