As part of AHRQ’s mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans, the AHRQ National Resource Center (NRC) for Health IT provides technical assistance and conducts analysis and dissemination of results from project work funded in AHRQ’s health IT portfolio. The NRC team members developed this report summarizing the key challenges noted, solutions identified, and lessons learned by AHRQ funded projects implementing health IT in LTC settings. The document is not intended to be a comprehensive evaluation of health IT within LTC, an assessment of AHRQ’s health IT portfolio in LTC, or a summary of the grantees’ research findings. Rather, the report is an examination of the project work that AHRQ has funded thus far in the LTC field,developed within the Agency’s continued research interests in the care and support of persons with chronic or disabling conditions.
