We are in Mansfield, OH. Setting some of my reservations aside, I think this health IT program is needed in our community in order to provide quality health care through the use of IT. Due to economic turmoil, many residents will be looking to receive our services while expecting expert quality healthcare. Communities such as ours need to be educated as to the importance of health IT, how to use it, adopt it and share among providers electronically.
