An Invaluable Reference on Health IT Value

Just a very short post to make sure everyone is aware of this invaluable site.

It is titled:

The case for IT in healthcare – supporting the patient safety agenda

It contains links and summaries of a large number of reports that have shown a clear case for using IT in healthcare to bring safety benefits for patients.

This is the case we should be making to the Australian Government.

Enjoy browsing and use the material to convince others of the importance and value of pressing on with Health IT programs and initiatives.
