To assess the scholarly output of grants funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) that published knowledge relevant to the impact of health information technologies on patient safety and quality of care outcomes.
We performed a bibliometric analysis of the identified scholarly articles, their journals, and citations. In addition, we performed a qualitative review of the full-text articles and grant documents.
DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS: Papers published by AHRQ-funded investigators were retrieved from MEDLINE, journal impact factors were extracted from the 2010 Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Report, citations were retrieved from ISI's Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar.
Seventy-two articles met the criteria for review. Most articles addressed one or more of AHRQ's outcome goals and focus priorities. The average impact factor for the journals was 4.005 (range: 0.654-28.899). The articles, and their respective grants, represented a broad range of health information technologies.
This set of AHRQ-funded research projects addressed the goals and priorities of AHRQ, indicating notable contributions to the scientific knowledge base on the impact of information system use in healthcare.
评估美国医疗保健研究与质量署（AHRQ）资助的、与医疗信息技术对患者安全和医疗质量结果的影响相关的知识产出的学术成果。
我们对已确定的学术文章、其期刊和引文进行了文献计量分析。此外，我们还对全文文章和资助文件进行了定性审查。
数据收集/提取方法：从 MEDLINE 检索到 AHRQ 资助的研究人员发表的论文，从 2010 年汤森路透期刊引文报告中提取期刊影响因子，从 ISI 的 Web of Knowledge 和 Google Scholar 检索引文。
有 72 篇文章符合审查标准。大多数文章解决了 AHRQ 的一个或多个结果目标和重点优先事项。期刊的平均影响因子为 4.005（范围：0.654-28.899）。这些文章及其各自的资助项目代表了广泛的医疗信息技术。
这组 AHRQ 资助的研究项目解决了 AHRQ 的目标和优先事项，表明对医疗保健中信息系统使用影响的科学知识库做出了显著贡献。
