The results showed a positive association between health information technology capacity and quality of care.
Working in close association with the information technology staff, a number of online resources, such as discussion boards, multimedia, were created to ensure ongoing access to learning and assessment materials.
Therefore, this study examined the health information technology capacity of FQHCs to determine associations with improved quality of care.
We examined associations between health information technology (HIT) capacity at FQHCs and quality of care, measured by the receipt of discharge summary, frequency of patients receiving reminders/notifications for preventive care/follow-up care, and timely appointment for specialty care.
The study projects that demand for new information technology employees this year will be down 44percentt from last year, when the association found a demand for 1.6 million such workers and a shortfall of roughly 850,000.
This was due to other intervening subtleties such as the rapidly increasing penetration of information technology systems into the Kenyan rural areas, which possibly shaped the association.
