HRSA’s Office of Health Information Technology and Quality (OHITQ) has developed a series of HIT Adoption Toolboxes to help implement health IT applications. The toolboxes are designed to serve the needs of a broad audience within health centers and other safety net providers. Key IT stakeholders have reviewed and contribed to the toolboxes to ensure they are accurate, relevant, and effective in supporting health IT in safety net organizations.
