Fwd: AHRQ Health IT Update--New Report on Health IT and Workflow Redesign

New Report Examines Impacts of Health IT on Workflow in Outpatient Settings

 

AHRQ released a new summary report, Incorporating Health IT into Workflow Redesign, prepared by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement. The report summarizes existing research and evidence related to the impact of health IT on workflow in outpatient settings. Key information obtained from the research will be incorporated into a toolkit to assist small and medium-sized practices in workflow analysis and redesign before, during, and after health IT implementation. The toolkit, Workflow Assessment for Health IT, is expected to be available in January 2011. Select to access the Incorporating Health IT into Workflow Redesign Summary Report (PDF file; PDF Help) and the associated appendix, Incorporating Health IT Into Workflow Redesign Summary Report Appendix F: Tool Compendium (PDF file; PDF Help).
