Since the inception of the Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) Service Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) program, the VA Information Resource Center (VIReC) has provided consultation relating to technical assistance, scientific reviews, educational programs, and dissemination activities regarding use of data, data resources and clinical informatics in research. In 2008, QUERI leadership asked VIReC to perform a follow-up evaluation to an earlier study to explore issues specifically related to health information technology (HIT) in QUERI-supported implementation research. A case study approach was used to address the following:
- Describe current HIT strategies in use
- Identify barriers related to the use of HIT
- Identify facilitators related to the use of HIT
- Identify emerging requirements for HIT
