UIHP Health Information Technology Survey
Welcome to the UIHP HIT Survey 2010 Results Page
Introduction
This survey was created as part of our continuing efforts to both provide customized technical assistance for our members and to educate policy makers on specific needs. The Annual NCUIH Conference 2010 will provide a space for all Urban Indian Health Programs to discuss (among ourselves and with Federal Officials) important and multi-disciplinary issues, such as the introduction and implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT) projects.
