The Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) is a lead Federal agency in developing and
disseminating evidence and evidence-based tools on how health IT
can improve health care quality, safety, efficiency, and
effectiveness. In support of the health IT initiative, AHRQ
developed the National Resource Center (NRC) for Health IT Web

tools that support the health IT initiative's work and aims. With
this project AHRQ is conducting an evaluation to assess whether
these tools are reaching their intended audiences, are easy to use,
and provide the information that users expect and need. The current
project is an evaluation of one of the tools available on the NRC
site: the Health IT Survey Compendium.
