Abstract:
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has invested $166 million in projects designed to test the effectiveness of health information technologies (health IT) as they relate to cost, quality and patient safety indicators. These projects embrace the breadth of health IT solutions and involve participants from across the United States. In order to systematically deliver the lessons learned from these projects to a diverse national audience and to assist those in the early stages of health IT deployment, AHRQ has created a national website which highlights the successes and challenges faced by its grantees and aggregates a compendium of useful and peer-reviewed health IT content.
