The Long Term and Post-Acute Care HIT Collaborative, a stakeholder consortium, had released its roadmap for health information technology priorities from 2012 through 2014.

The collaborative formed in 2005 and updates its roadmap every two years. Its top five near-term priorities are:

* Care coordination between hospitals, physicians, long term and post-acute providers and other providers;

* Quality and process improvement through coordinated quality measurement and improvement activities;

* Making health I.T. a business imperative to streamline processes, improve efficiencies and better share information;

* Accelerate consumer and caregiver engagement to foster cultural change across settings of care; and

* Promote development of technology skill sets across all levels of the long term and post-acute workforce.

The 2012-2014 roadmap is available here. Details on the collaborative and its members are here.
