Focus use of HIT as a tool to sustain quality and operational improvement
Standardized data elements and use of redesigned forms facilitate CNA adoption of HIT
Redesign workflow prior to HIT implementation

Involve front-line in teams to redesign workflow
Establish partnerships and local champions
Dedicate project management resources
