DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Quality improvement and patient safety in healthcare systems can be achieved only if information technology and standards of care are implemented in hospitals. Implementation of information technology has not been achieved in most rural and small community hospitals. Furthermore, the impact of mandated implementation of quality measures has not yet been felt by hospital administrators and practicing physicians, especially those in rural areas. Unless rural healthcare facilities can implement both of these innovations, they are likely to be driven out of business, leaving millions of patients without access to even acute care. The objective of this project is to implement advanced Information Technology and standards of care in rural and small community hospitals throughout the state of Texas to increase patient safety and quality of care. The Specific Aims are: (1) implement web-based business intelligence tools, internet connectivity, and standardized national measures of patient safety and quality to improve delivery of care; (2) implement advanced technology with an enriching educational Intervention to support a committed patient safety and quality culture; (3) conduct a randomized trial to evaluate the effects of technology and the incremental effects of an educational intervention on patient safety and quality. This collaboration is particularly well suited to conduct this project because the partners include the Palo Pinto General Hospital as the applicant on behalf of a network of rural facilities, the Rural and Community Health Institute of Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, the Dallas/Fort Worth Council of hospital Data Initiative, the Baylor Health Care System, and the Texas Medical Foundation. This project is significant because we expect to implement advanced Information Technology and standardized national measures of care in rural and small community hospitals and to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention to accomplish this implementation.

描述（由申请人提供）：只有在医院中实施信息技术和护理标准时，才能实现医疗保健系统的质量改善和患者安全。在大多数农村和小型社区医院中，没有实现信息技术的实施。此外，医院管理人员和执业医师，尤其是在农村地区的医生，尚未感受到强制执行质量措施的影响。除非农村医疗保健设施可以实施这两种创新，否则它们很可能会倒闭，使数百万患者无法获得急性护理。该项目的目的是在德克萨斯州的农村和小型社区医院中实施高级信息技术和护理标准，以提高患者安全和护理质量。具体目的是：（1）实施基于Web的商业智能工具，Internet连接性以及标准化的国家安全和质量衡量标准，以改善护理的交付； （2）实施高级技术，并具有丰富的教育干预措施，以支持致力于患者的安全和质量文化； （3）进行一项随机试验，以评估技术的影响以及教育干预对患者安全和质量的增量影响。这项合作特别适合进行该项目，因为合作伙伴代表农村设施网络，德克萨斯州A＆M大学系统系统健康科学中心，达拉斯/沃斯堡医院数据委员会，贝勒医疗保健系统以及德克萨斯州医疗基金会的合作伙伴将其作为申请人作为申请人。该项目之所以重要，是因为我们希望在农村和小型社区医院实施高级信息技术和标准化的国家护理指标，并评估教育干预措施的有效性以实现这一实施。
