Patient Safety and Health Information Technology E-Newsletter Archives

The AHRQ Patient Safety and Health Information Technology E-Newsletter summarizes important patient safety news and information from the Agency.

To better provide you with up-to-the-minute news about AHRQ's patient safety and health information technology (IT) programs, we will begin sending patient safety and health IT and updates separately. The October 2011 issue of AHRQ's Patient Safety and Health IT e-newsletter will be the final one in the combined format.
