Facilitate Data Sharing between Medicaid and Health Agencies
HCFA, HRSA and CDC share common goals to assure access and improve quality of
care provided to vulnerable populations. We have joined together to launch a
coordinated strategy aimed at reducing barriers to sharing data between Medicaid
and health agencies and supporting innovative approaches to the design and
implementation of State information systems that foster collaboration among these
programs. This commitment is formally embodied in an inter-agency agreement
between HCFA and HRSA which will be implemented in partnership with CDC, and
through collaboration with States. This letter provides information on the first set of
activities we will conduct to support collaborations for data sharing between State
Medicaid and health agencies.
