Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCN)

Overview

Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs) are networks of health centers that work together to strengthen and leverage health information technology (IT) to improve health centers’ operational and clinical practices that result in better health outcomes for the communities they serve. Through the fiscal year (FY) 2022 HCCN competitive notice of funding opportunity, HRSA will make approximately 49 awards. HCCNs will use this funding to support health centers in leveraging health IT and data to deliver high-quality, culturally competent, equitable, and comprehensive primary health care, with a specific focus on improvements in:

• Clinical quality,
• Patient-centered care, and
• Provider and staff well-being.

This funding is authorized by Section 330(e)(1)(C) of the Public Health Service Act, (42 U.S.C. 254b(e)(1)(C)). 

Award recipients must submit an annual non-competing continuation (NCC) progress report.
