The Center for Health Information Technology provides support to the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (MCHRC) in promoting the use of health information technology to community health resources in Maryland. The MHCRC was established in July, 2005 (Chapter 280, Acts of 2005). To improve access to health care for those who are under insured and those without any insurance, the MCHRC awards operating and information technology grants to community clinics which meet MCHRC criteria as community health resources. Using such clinics as the basis for community health care, the MCHRC helps communities establish integrated health services. The MCHRC has awarded more than $4.6 million in grants to 12 community health resource organizations in the State. These initiatives are expected to increase access to health care for underserved citizens in Maryland.
