AHRQ released a new health information technology (IT) report during the eHealth Initiative's Connecting Communities Learning Forum on April 11
The report acknowledges that while health IT has been shown to improve quality of care for patients, most health care providers need more information about how to implement these technologies successfully. The report, Costs and Benefits of Health Information Technology, is a synthesis of studies that have examined the quality impact of health IT as well as the costs and organizational changes needed to implement health IT systems.
This report reviews scientific data about the implementation of health IT to date, as documented in studies published through 2003. It does not project future health care benefits or savings, in contrast to other reports.

O relatório revela que quando a Tecnologia de Informação em Saúde for utilizada para melhorar a qualidade do cuidado para os pacientes, haverá mais necessidade de informação sobre como implantar com sucesso estas tecnologias. O relatório, "Os custos e os benefícios da tecnologia de informação da saúde", é uma síntese dos estudos que examinaram o impacto da qualidade da tecnologia de informação em saúde bem como os custos e as mudanças organizacionais necessárias para sua execução.
