The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has launched the Health IT Dashboard, which was established to present key information about the strategy of ONC, its healthcare innovation grants programs and available research data tracking the nationwide adoption of health IT.

The Dashboard uses an interactive package of technologies that allow ONC stakeholders to map, chart and access the agency’s data. Currently, the Health IT Dashboard provides a summary of information about all ONC grant programs and detailed presentations of performance data for the Health IT Regional Extension Centers and Community College Consortia to Educate Health IT Professionals programs.

Recently upgraded, the Health IT Dashboard now includes over 150 maps presenting ONC data at state, county and grantee geographic boundaries. In June, ONC researchers and the ONC State Health Information Exchange Program will publish an electronic health record and health information exchange dashboard including more state-level maps, charts and data sets that describe trends in physician and hospital utilization of health IT.
