Testing Your Health IT IQ?

The Medical Records Institute (MRI) has made available what it calls the Health IT IQ (HITIQ) Test, a free exam designed to measure vendors' knowledge about the complex world of EHRs and health information technology.

"This is a fun way for HIT vendors tocheck their knowledge and challenge their peers," states C. Peter Waegemann, CEO of MRI in a release. "We are working on a similar test for healthcare practitioners that will be released in Fall 2005."

The HITIQ can be completed by anyone visiting MRI's website and requires only a few minutes to answer the 17 multiple-choice questions.Your results are available immediately. The test's contents were derived from the organization's 7th Annual EHR Survey of Trends and Usage. Collective results of the surveys taken will be released can see them by attending MRI's Health IT Trends and Marketing Conference held August 22-24 at the Radisson Hotel in Boston, Mass.
