Issue Date: December 17, 2019

State and Local Public Health Agencies (PHAs) support interoperability efforts and data exchange with electronic health records, many of which have been utilized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Promoting Interoperability Programs. This appendix points to PHA websites at the jurisdictional level where interested parties can obtain information such as the local implementation guides, which programs and implementation guides are supported, contact information etc.

HHS is committed to making its websites and documents accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We are in the process of retroactively making some documents accessible. If you need assistance accessing an accessible version of this document, please reach out to the guidance@hhs.gov.
