HITEQ Center, Capital Link, June 2025

Health Information Technology (health IT) is an essential foundation for delivering highquality, coordinated care in today’s healthcare environment. However, implementing and maintaining these systems requires thoughtful planning and sustainable financial investment, particularly for health centers that serve safety net populations.

The Excel-based Health IT Financial Forecasting Tool is designed to help community health centers clearly and comprehensively document both the costs and funding sources associated with health IT systems.

Whether your clinic is considering a new system, upgrading existing tools, or seeking to better understand your current cost structure, this tool provides a structured way to capture and assess your financial commitments and potential revenue streams.
