New Research Summary Highlights Potential of Health Information Technology To Advance Patient Safety

Improving Healthcare Safety by Enhancing Health Information Technology and Health Information Exchange (PDF, 953 KB) is the second in a series of ÂÜÀòÊÓƵpublications that summarize the agency’s investments in patient safety research as a pathway toward safer care. Research has shown that health information technology (HIT) and health information exchange (HIE) make it possible for healthcare providers to safely and securely access and share information about a patient’s health, such as patient history, vital signs, diagnoses, medications and disease progression. Since 2000, ÂÜÀòÊÓƵhas supported 42 patient safety projects related to HIT and HIE. This new publication summarizes ´¡±á¸é²Ï’s investments in this promising pathway toward better care, including examples of project findings and products, collective outputs and impacts of this work.
