Health Information Technology Toolkit for Critical Access and Small HospitalsThe Health Information Technology (HIT) Toolkit for Critical Access and Small Hospitals helps these health care organizations assess their readiness, plan, select, implement, make effective use of, and exchange important information about the clients you serve. The toolkit contains numerous resources, including tools for telehealth, health information exchange, and personal health records. If you offer services such as hospice in another location, like a home health agency or nursing home, refer to Stratis Health's toolkits for these types of care delivery organizations. A wide variety of HIT is available for use in hospitals. The HIT you choose to adopt may range from independent applications that allow you to start using HIT or supplement what you already have. It may also be a comprehensive system that integrates all business and clinical aspects. A carefully constructed foundation and the right tools can mean the difference between systems that are not well-used or add administrative burden, and those that achieve value. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide tools, tested in hospitals, that will help you plan and make the right choices, as well as to avoid having to re-invent the wheel as you plan for and implement HIT in your hospital. Much like a carpenter's toolbox, the HIT Toolkit supplies a variety of tools for use at different points in your HIT adoption. Each tool includes:
