US House Bill HR 3124 IH was introduced in an effort to award competitive grants to eligible safety-net health care providers to enable such providers to fully implement VistA or RPMS. Eligible organizations include "public or nonprofit health care providers" which are identified as:
• post-secondary schools
• community health centers
• local health departments
• free clinics
• and more...
Grant funds go towards installing and maintaining VistA and/or RPMS in facilities that use the systems in ways that meet the upcoming "meaningful use" definition(s).

Call for Action: 2010 was the year for healthcare reform in the United States. HIMSS believes that that lives can be saved, outcomes of care improved, and costs reduced by transforming the healthcare system through the appropriate use of information technology (IT) and management systems. HIMSS advocacy, public policy, legislative and regulatory actions are guided by HIMSS 2011-2012 Public Policy Principles.
