Rising health information technology (HIT) adoption and the increasing interoperability of health data have propelled the role of IT in community-wide health transformations. Disseminating the challenges and opportunities that the early adopters of community-wide HIT interventions have experienced is critical for empowering the growing demand for community-based health systems. This special issue of eGEMs addresses that need. This issue includes a variety of community-based HIT projects covering topics such as governance, informatics, and learning health systems. These projects represent a diverse set of stakeholders, a wide selection of data sources, and multiple information platforms to collate or exchange data. We hope that this special issue of eGEMs will be the first of several future issues dedicated to community-wide HIT transformations.
卫生信息技术（HIT）应用的不断增加以及健康数据互操作性的日益提高，推动了信息技术在社区范围健康转型中的作用。传播社区范围HIT干预早期采用者所经历的挑战和机遇，对于满足对基于社区的卫生系统日益增长的需求至关重要。eGEMs的这一特刊满足了这一需求。本期包括各种基于社区的HIT项目，涵盖治理、信息学和学习型卫生系统等主题。这些项目代表了不同的利益相关者群体、广泛的数据来源选择以及用于整理或交换数据的多个信息平台。我们希望eGEMs的这一特刊将成为未来几期专门讨论社区范围HIT转型的系列特刊中的第一期。
