EDR FAQ

Can my site use its own funds to purchase EDR and expedite implementation?

IHS funding for EDR implementation is limited each year. Sites that do not want to wait for IHS EDR Contract funded implementation and are willing to support EDR implementation with their own funds may do so. Self-funded costs vary widely depending on each site’s size, network configuration and Information Technology infrastructure. Self-funded sites must meet the same EDR readiness standards and will be placed on a separate implementation track from IHS EDR Contract nationally funded sites. The EDR program does not re-imburse costs for self-funded implementations and may only provide limited implementation management support.
