Posted on | July 14, 2011 | Comments Off on AHRQ Releases New Work Flow Toolkit

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has just released a work flow toolkit that deserves a close look. “Workflow Assessment for Health IT Toolkit” will help small and medium practices learn more about workflow in order to plan, design, and implement health IT in ambulatory care.

AHRQ’s health information technology (health IT) initiative is part of the Nation’s strategy to put information technology to work in health care. By developing secure and private electronic health records for most Americans and making health information available electronically when and where it is needed, health IT can improve the quality of care, even as it makes health care more cost-effective.
