AHA: Health IT is ‘Common Fiber’ To Achieving Care Delivery Goals

The American Hospital Association has released a new white paperthat, among other things, outlines how health IT use can improve quality across the care continuum, EHR Intelligence reports (Heath,EHR Intelligence, 11/25).

White Paper Details

Overall, the white paper offers resources related to workforce-specific roles, responsibilities and technologies to help hospitals transition to value-based care delivery models (AHA News, 11/24).

The paper, called “Connecting the Dots Along the Care Continuum,” focuses on four areas:

  • Care coordination and transition management;
  • New and emerging health care models;
  • Patient and family care; and
  • Team-based care.

According to AHA, health IT will serve as the driver of quality care because it acts as “the common fiber that supports” the paper’s four focus areas (EHR Intelligence, 11/25). For the full article click here
