The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced the national launch of Doctor’s Office Quality Information Technology University, or DOQ-IT U, to support health IT in physicians’ offices.
DOQ-IT U is an interactive, web-based tool designed to provide solo and small-to-medium-sized physician practices with education for successful health IT adoption, including lessons on culture change, vendor selection, and operational redesign, along with clinical processes. The e-learning system is available at no charge, and the first modules are available now.
An e-learning platform is being used to provide physicians with a self-paced curriculum and associated tools. Additional features, such as surveys, utilization tracking, and continuing medical education/continuing education unit offering/issuing capabilities will also be included in the near future.
