ITdotHealth, a National Health Information Technology Forum, has been created through an inter-faculty collaboration at Harvard University. The last year has seen unprecedented plans for investment in health information technology (HIT) by the federal government and we see an urgent need for developing a common set of expectations about the technical, scientific, policy, and business implications of this transformative and rapidly evolving trend.
ITdotHealth offers several modes of interaction and knowledge sharing.
ITdotHealth Knols website enables creation, collaboration on, and publication of early stage manuscripts devoted to healthcare information technology (HIT). At this stage, we invite participants from the Health Information Technology Platform meeting at Harvard to edit and comment on existing knols, and to submit new ones. After the initial stage, we will broaden the reach of the effort.
ITdotHealth Blog follows new perspectives on HIT, announcements from the ITdotHealth effort, and posting of new knols. Join us by commenting directly on each ITdotHealth post. If you are writing about us or related content from your own blog, please categorize it / tag it as ITdotHealth and email us a URL for your blog (blog-link@itdothealth.org) so we can consider adding it to our RSS feed.
What We’re Reading is a list of articles, book notes and other sources relevant to HIT, bookmarked by a community of Harvard medical librarians and researchers.
ITdotHealth Twitter Feed aggregates tweets on HIT marked with the #ITdotHealth hash tag. Feel free to join us.
Thank you for participating in the ITdotHealth community. We are happy to hear your feedback at info@ITdotHealth.org.
