Readying The Health IT Workforce For Patient-Centered Team Based Care: Understanding Training Needs

This September 2013 presentation was written by Chitra Mohla, Cinyon Reed, and Peter Keesey with the fedeal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and Heather McKenzie, David Damico, and Shelly Sital with Westat.
