What is Health IT?
Health IT is healthcare information technology - the use of computer applications to
record, store, protect, retrieve, and transfer clinical, administrative, and financial
information electronically within health care settings. The ultimate goal of health IT is to
improve the quality and efficiency of patient care.

improve the quality and efficiency of patient care.
Why implement Health IT?
Recent research demonstrates that increased use of information technology is an
important step in improving quality of care and patient safety. The recent focus on health
IT adoption was jump-started by the Institutes of Medicine 1999 report on patient safety
entitled, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, which highlighted improved
use of computerized applications as a core strategy for improving safety and quality of the
healthcare system. The Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded the
National Resource Center for Health IT (NRC) in 2004 and approximately $166 million in
health IT projects throughout the United States. HRSA has supported the adoption of
health IT by health centers, other safety net providers and ambulatory care providers since
the 1980s through various grant programs ranging from operational funding to dedicated
EHR implementation funding.
Despite its potential advantages for efficiency and quality, the adoption of health IT has
proceeded slowly, particularly among health centers, other safety nets and ambulatory
care providers as documented by a recent publication of the National Association of
Community Health Centers, Electronic Health Information Among Community Health
Centers: Adoption and Barriers. Reasons for this include lack of skilled resources, budget
constraints, poor project management and the challenges associated with change
management.
