East Tennessee Children’s Hospital
As Tennessee\u2019s only independent, not-for-profit children\u2019s hospital, East Tennessee Children\u2019s Hospital (ETCH) provides care to all patients despite their ability to pay, serving a ~65% Medicaid population. ETCH serves patients from 73 of the 95 Tennessee counties annually, taking care of more than 330,000 patient encounters. ETCH has a comprehensive Pediatric Radiology Department with a 21-year-old MRI unit. The MRI, ETCH\u2019s only one, is end of life and needs replacement. With nearly 21,000 MRI exams since 2017, the MRI is an essential diagnostic tool for our expert clinicians. The new MRI we are requesting grant support for will perform any exam a patient needs, improve the image quality of every exam, and allow certain exams, such as cardiac exams, to be performed. In addition, a larger bore size will allow patients with larger body types to be examined and advancement in technology will increase the speed of exams and capacity of care that ETCH is able to provide.

Procurement pursuit intelligence
This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.
