AHRQ Seeking Comments – The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is seeking information from small- and medium-sized healthcare practices on tools for analyzing and redesigning workflows before or after an HIT implementation.
“AHRQ is assessing existing research and evidence in the area of the impacts of health IT on workflow, its linkage to clinician adoption, and its links to the safety, quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of care delivery.”
Comments and Deadline – Comments should be submitted on or before August 24. Electronic responses should be addressed to WorkflowRFI@ahrq.hhs.gov.
To read the full notice published in the Federal Register and visit the project’s website, go to AHRQ’s National Resource Center for Health Information Technology.

Give me an example of a workflow participatory design.
I’m a researcher writing my doctoral thesis on implementation and improvements of healthcare information systems (HIS) and the use of HIS. My approach to implementation is a process of mutual adaptation of technology and organisation/work flows founded on the “philosophy” of participatory design. I have a working paper on some of the issues that will be published in august after I have presented it at a conference.
