What a Great Idea! - The AHRQ National Resource Centre for Health IT

The following fabulous web site bobbed up a few days ago!

Health IT Bibliography

Top Resources for Key Topics

The Health IT Bibliography is a collection of carefully selected, high quality resources for health care and information technology (IT) stakeholders searching for information on how health IT can transform care delivery processes and improve quality, safety, and efficiency.

For each category below, users will find a mixture of both peer-reviewed articles from professional journals and Web-based resources from highly respected health care and IT organizations. Summaries of each item are provided in addition to a link for users to access the full resource. Where possible, the National Resource Center has attempted to select resources that are freely available in the public domain. However, some of the articles may require individual or institutional access.

This resource is designed to be dynamic, growing with the health IT community to include new knowledge, resources, and technologies. If you have a suggestion for the bibliography, we invite you to submit it.

Methods

To create the initial bibliography, the AHRQ National Resource Center for Health IT invited nationally recognized experts in each category to review suggested articles within their areas of expertise. Feedback from these experts guided the completion of the bibliography, and the National Resource Center is grateful to all of those who provided their time and advice.

The bibliography contains articles on the "state of the art" within health IT, while also summarizing previous research on the benefits and challenges of one or more technologies. Case studies and individual investigations are also included where those articles provide practical advice and details that can be utilized at other health care organizations.

The resource can be accessed via this link.

This is just a great resource and will be an invaluable reference for any Health IT submission. It covers all the main areas one could need some serious current references for.

Thanks AHRQ. Great work!
