This evolving library of case studies and overview briefs provides specific examples of how information technology (IT) can play an increasingly significant role in connecting science, technology, and policy for healthier outcomes.

Please email Mr. Brian Hutchinson (bhutchinson@nbr.org) with comments, suggestions, and inquiries about authoring a new Affordability and Technologies for Health Case Study.

You can download the entire book, or view individual reports below:

  • Economy case studies provide a big-picture overview of HIT adoption in different economies, with information on who drives and pays for HIT, unique successes and barriers to implementation, and existing HIT policies.
  • Functional case studies provide a summary of projects that utilize IT to improve health and healthcare in a specific area. The documents discuss the scalability and transferability of each project, as well as implications for policy.
  • Overview Briefs provide descriptive outlines of basic elements of HIT and the specific technologies involved.
