Hit Primary Care July07
This document discusses how health information technology (health IT) can be used to improve the quality of care in primary care settings. It provides background on projects by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others to promote the adoption of health IT. The document aims to identify health IT functionality that supports quality improvement, propose strategies ("change ideas") for implementing health IT as a tool for improvement, and identify opportunities for innovation. While health IT holds promise, simply implementing current systems will not drive improvement on its own. Success requires using health IT together with robust care models and quality improvement methods.
