Research funded by AHRQ in patient safety and health information technology is helping to revolutionize everyday clinical practice. The 2005 Annual Patient Safety and Health IT Conference offers exciting opportunities to learn how this research is being used to support health information exchange and reduce medical errors. You'll also get a "first look" at longer-term work in progress to develop the evidence base for widespread HIT adoption. This is the single most important meeting of the year for anyone interested in new and emerging research around patient safety and health IT implementation. Participants will include AHRQ grantees and contractors, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, technicians, health care researchers, quality improvement and risk assessment managers, and others committed to improving health care safety and quality.
