Health IT Tools and Resources

AHRQ and its community of contractors and grantees have developed tools to help health care organizations plan for, implement and evaluate health information technology (IT). These tools describe and recommend strategies for addressing some of the common challenges organizations encounter when working with health IT systems. The tools are freely available, but proper citation should be used when referenced on the Web or in print.
