Health information technology presents an exciting opportunity for researchers interested in applied work, according to Karen B. DeSalvo, MD, MPH, MSc, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.

“We’ve introduced a new technology into healthcare,” she said. “The more we understand about how it’s improving care, or improving the safety of care, or having some kind of interactive role in quality and safety, the better off we’ll all be.”
