美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）致力于在整个医疗保健领域推广卫生信息技术（HIT）。然而，选择，收购和实施HIT的质量改进（QI）超出了许多联邦政府支持的社区卫生中心（CHCs）的手段。在缺乏联邦领导和投资的情况下，采用HIT将是缓慢的、随意的、重复的和浪费的。HHS应积极支持HIT，以提高社区卫生中心的质量。这将最大限度地发挥HIT的效益，最大限度地减少成本，并确保社区卫生中心拥有满足弱势群体需求的工具。
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is committed to promoting health information technology (HIT) throughout health care. However, selection, acquisition, and implementation of HIT for quality improvement (QI) are beyond the means of many federally supported community health centers (CHCs). In the absence of federal leadership and investment, adoption of HIT will be slow, haphazard, duplicative, and wasteful. HHS should actively support HIT to improve quality in CHCs. This will maximize HIT benefits, minimize costs, and ensure that CHCs have the tools to address the needs of vulnerable populations.
