States are finding health information technology (HIT) an essential tool in any plan that seeks to improve the efficiency, affordability, safety, and quality of their health care systems. This State Health Policy Briefing is intended to help state policy makers determine what role they will play in HIT development, how their state will use HIT, and how they will address critical barriers to success. It is based on a day-long preconference seminar conducted by NASHP and during which state policy makers exchanged information and experience and learned from leading states and experts.
Three major challenges faced by states seeking to implement and use HIT effectively are discussed:
1. Forming and/or working within a public-private partnership,
2. Finding funding for implementation and sustainability, and
3. Ensuring privacy and security of health information.
