Many hospitals and health systems have been pioneers in harnessing the opportunity of information technology (IT) to improve patient care and quality. We are now challenged to extend the use of IT and integrate it into routine care processes in hospitals big and small, in both rural and urban areas. On the federal level, the Administration and Congress have prioritized adoption of IT, and in particular electronic health records (EHRs). On the state level, the Governor and her administration have identified the adoption of health information technology as a strategy to address issues of access quality, safety and cost effectiveness. Listed below are the current resources KHA has available to assist with this critical issue.
