The National Lipid Association along with a panel of outside experts from various disciplines convened for a workshop in late July to examine how health information technology (HIT) can be used, to effectively improve LDL-C goal attainment. The workshop committee of experts included participants from academic medical centers, health care policy organizations, large health care systems, as well as members from the HIT and pharmaceutical industries. The proceedings from the workshop were developed into an article printed in the November/December issue of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology entitled Use of health information technology (HIT) to improve statin adherence and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goal attainment in high risk patients: Proceedings from a workshop. The full paper can be accessed through the NLA website here.
