灯塔社区计划是联邦战略的一部分，旨在利用卫生信息技术作为基础，改善国家卫生保健系统。特别是，灯塔社区力求提高医疗保健的质量和效率，改善个人和社区的健康状况，并为该国其他地区的类似举措提供信息。每个Beacon社区都设定了质量、效率和与健康相关的目标，并且每个社区都部署了多种技术支持的干预措施来实现这些目标。然而，要实现大规模和可持续的卫生保健改善，还需要一个能够促进创新和不断从结果中学习的实施框架。基于17个不同的灯塔社区的早期经验，本文描述了这些计划如何组织的程序设计特征。
The Beacon Community Program is part of a federal strategy for using health information technology as a foundation to improve the nation's health care system. In particular, Beacon Communities seek to increase the quality and efficiency of health care, improve the health of individuals and communities, and inform similar initiatives in other parts of the country. Each Beacon Community has set quality, efficiency, and health-related goals, and each is deploying multiple technology-enabled interventions to achieve them. Yet achieving large-scale and sustainable health care improvement also requires an implementation framework that can foster innovation and continuous learning from results. Based on the early experiences of the seventeen diverse Beacon Communities, this paper describes program design features that characterize how these initiatives are organized.
