The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (an agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services) has established a National Resource Center for Health Information Technology. While US focused, it contains many articles, resources and toolkits that can be adapted to many jurisdictions. I particularly like their Privacy and Security Toolkit and "Emerging Lessons" pages for CPOE, EMR/EHR, Health Information Exchange, and Health IT in Small and Rural Communities.
Its an excellent site that appears to present a balanced view of many eHealth opportunities and issues.

As an industry analyst I am constantly scanning the literature for various items related to eHealth use and adoption. When I find items that I think may be of interest to readers of this blog I will share them. My first item to share is a recent survey of CHIME (College of Healthcare Management Executives) members regarding Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE). In a similar 2005 survey, one in four survey respondents indicated they had implemented a CPOE system. This year, that number nearly doubled, with 49% of respondents stating they had implemented CPOE at their facilities.
Additional statistics of interest include:
- 17% of CHIME members this year indicated they are implementing CPOE systems.
- 18% reported that their hospital is currently in the process of selecting a CPOE system.
- 16% responded that CPOE technology is not applicable to their organization.
