Introduction
Despite rapid adoption and use of health information technology (HIT or health IT) with the potential to improve patient safety outcomes, there still exists no clear way to measure the impact of this technology on these outcomes. The health IT safety framework was created to contextualize "health IT-related patient safety measurement, monitoring, and improvement." [1]
Framework Rationale
Overview of Framework
