From Monique Wonders, 2/28/09
Hi All,
I wanted to let you all know that I've created a Healthcare Information Technology website committed to promoting education, training and development in HIT; specifically (EHR) electronic medical record implementation processes. I have posted documentation on the site that I've used and customized when working with healthcare organizations to implement their EHR applications. Topics include planning strategies, clinical workflow, security, application solution topics, and much more. Visit http://hitech.groupsite.com and sign up as a member.
Use my site as a resource, as I will continue to make as much information as I can available, for those who are interested in the various career opportunities in HIT and for those who simply want to learn more about the industry overall.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Health Information Technology
Health information technology (Health IT) allows comprehensive management of medical information and its secure exchange between health care consumers and providers. Broad use of health IT will:
- Improve health care quality;
- Prevent medical errors;
- Reduce health care costs;
- Increase administrative efficiencies;
- Decrease paperwork; and
- Expand access to affordable care.
Interoperable Health IT will improve individual patient care, but it will also bring many public health benefits including:
- Early detection of infectious disease outbreaks around the country;
- Improved tracking of chronic disease management; and
- Evaluation of health care based on value enabled by the collection of de-identified price and quality information that can be compared.
