CONTACT INFORMATION]

Dear [ADDRESSEE]:

On behalf of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), we would like to thank you for your valuable contributions to the project Understanding Development Methods from Other Industries to Improve the Design of Consumer Health IT.

Your participation has helped to identify design principles and methods that have contributed to successful consumer products; these processes are being evaluated for extension to the design and development of consumer products in the area of health IT. Results of the interviews will be used to develop recommendations for vendors and developers of consumer health IT products. We believe the recommendations will significantly impact the future design and development of consumer health IT products, and subsequently, the adoption and use of these types of products across the U.S. population.

As a thank you, we will send you a copy of the recommendations report.

Sincerely,

Jon White, MD Teresa Zayas Cabán, Ph.D.
