AHRQ Health IT Initiative
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality - June 10, 2010
AHRQ's health information technology (health IT) initiative aims to put information technology to work in health care. By developing secure and private electronic health records for most Americans and making health information available electronically when and where it is needed, health IT can improve the quality of care, and also make health care more cost-effective. AHRQ has focused its health IT activities on improving health care decisionmaking, supporting patient-centered care and improving the quality and safety of medication management.
