Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) Workforce Study. Final Report

摘要

This study gathered information through a series of four focus groups, five site visits, and direct communications with health information technology (HIT) vendors. The anticipated NHIN work was divided into three separate categories of activities for the purpose of assessing workforce: (1) electronic health records (EHRs) in physician offices; (2) EHRs in hospitals and other health care institutions; and (3) the health information infrastructure (HII) required in communities to link the various sources of records so that each patients complete electronic record could be available.
