National Multi-Media and Education Campaign for Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act

This contract involves a request for proposal under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) framework to support the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Multi-Media and Education Campaign focused on Health Information Technology (HIT) as outlined in the HITECH Act. The primary objective is to secure technical and professional services for the strategic planning, development, and execution of a nationwide education campaign. The campaign aims to increase awareness and understanding among healthcare providers about the benefits and participation requirements of the Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program, the Physician Quality Reporting System, and the eRx Incentive Program. It also seeks to educate Medicare and Medicaid consumers on the advantages of adopting HIT, promoting transparency, efficiency, and quality in healthcare delivery, while emphasizing the protection of personal information to build trust in these technologies. Additionally, the campaign will engage with state leadership and associations to ensure they have the necessary information and resources to effectively promote and administer the HITECH incentive programs, advance Health Information Exchange (HIE) infrastructure, and support meaningful use criteria established through regulatory processes. The effort is designed to align and integrate messaging across multiple incentive programs to encourage provider registration and successful attestation, ultimately preventing payment adjustments. The contract is expected to be completed within a 12-month timeframe and includes coordination with various stakeholders to foster widespread adoption and support of health IT initiatives nationwide.
