Community health centers (CHCs) face a unique set of challenges and can learn much from each other as they prepare for the adoption of health information technology (HIT).
This paper presents a research agenda aimed at providing information CHCs will need to successfully implement HIT.
Community health centers must be able to evaluate whether an investment in HIT is the best way to achieve improvements in health outcomes for their communities given the limited resources and high demands they face. Community health centers need better information to guide them in selecting and implementing information technology that will result in improved health quality and safety. Guidance in optimal use of the system, particularly in the effective use of data made available through electronic health records, is needed to realize health care goals. Community health centers need to be active participants in HIT developments in their communities to ensure that their patients benefit from technological advancements that improve health care.
社区卫生中心(CHCs)面临着一系列独特的挑战,在准备采用健康信息技术(HIT)时,它们可以相互学习很多经验。
本文提出了一项研究议程,旨在提供社区卫生中心成功实施健康信息技术所需的信息。
鉴于社区卫生中心面临资源有限和需求高的情况,它们必须能够评估对健康信息技术的投资是否是改善其社区健康结果的最佳方式。社区卫生中心需要更好的信息来指导它们选择和实施能够提高健康质量和安全性的信息技术。为了实现医疗保健目标,需要有关系统最佳使用的指导,特别是有效利用通过电子健康记录提供的数据。社区卫生中心需要积极参与其所在社区的健康信息技术发展,以确保其患者从改善医疗保健的技术进步中受益。
