The Meaningful Use (MU) regulations, part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and the Affordable Care Act helped accelerate health information technology (HIT) adoption in the past several years, and increasingly, state and local health departments are seeking to include HIT in their strategies to measure and manage population health. This workshop has been tailored to provide an overview of the current HIT landscape to stakeholders in population health management. The workshop will emphasize practical application and benefits that HIT transformation provides to those outside the traditional healthcare delivery system and specific examples that many local public health agencies may be involved in. The workshop has been crafted to provide baseline knowledge of HIT.
