Rural Provider Technology Grant Program

Rural Provider Technology Grant Program is part of the HTAM Initiative. The Health Technology Advancement & Modernization Initiative (HTAM) is Mississippi’s effort to modernize the technology that supports rural healthcare—so providers can deliver safer, faster, and more coordinated care.

RTG Goal

Provide funding to entities to support necessary enhancements to technology hardware and software, including but not limited to digital and smart tools, ambient listening technologies, automated systems, and resources to support onboarding to the statewide health information exchange. Eligible improvements may also include broader technology upgrades, cybersecurity and data integrity enhancements, cybersecurity awareness programs, development of security protocols or policies, training, integration and implementation costs associated with technology changes and the acquisition of related equipment needed to address identified gaps or unmet needs within a provider’s technology ecosystem. Technology investments are targeted at increasing or improving service capacity, securing and protecting data, and supporting long-term operational sustainability.

Program Objectives

All grant projects funded under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) must align with at least one of the program objectives listed below:

• Foster the use of innovative technologies that promote efficient care delivery, enhance data security, and expand access to digital health tools for rural facilities, providers, and patients. This could include the modernization of technology, expanding digital tools, and improved interoperability.
• Improve interoperability and data connectivity by facilitating onboarding, integration, and enable participation in the statewide health information exchange to improve data sharing, care coordination, and continuity of care.
• Strengthen core technology infrastructure by enabling participating facilities to modernize and stabilize essential technology hardware and software systems to support safe, efficient, and high-quality care delivery.
• Enhance cybersecurity by funding targeted upgrades that protect patient data, ensure data integrity, mitigate operational risk, and support compliance with applicable privacy and security requirements.
• Improving financial and operational sustainability to reduce closures and keep care local. This could include optimizing revenue cycle, leveraging data analytics, alignment with current and future care delivery models, and upgrading facilities.

Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians

We the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians are the most diverse confederation of Tribes and Bands on a single reservation in the United States. Our ancestors spoke 10 completely different languages, each of which had multiple dialects. Our ancestors brought with them deep connections to more than 20 million acres of ancestral territory combined, including all of Western Oregon from the summit of the Cascade mountains to the Pacific and extending into what’s now SW Washington State and northern California. Our ancestors signed many treaties with the United States. We were promised the 1.1 million acres Siletz Reservation as our permanent home, but following massive reservation reductions Congress passed the Western Oregon Termination Act in 1954 (took effect in 1956), and our federally recognized status as a tribe was also taken. In 1977 our lobbying of Congress to repeal our Termination was successful, and we became the second formerly Terminated Tribe to regain federal recognition as a Tribe.

Education

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz seeks to provide opportunities for Tribal members to reach potential, establish independence and improve quality of life through lifelong learning and education.
