Health-summit report available online
The Citizens Health Advisory Council has published on its website a report about the Health Information Technology Summit held earlier this year.
Speakers included a health-care policy expert, an authority on health information technology, a hospital physician, a hospital administrator and a consumer.
Electronic health records are beginning to be used in the community, but it will take years before a seamless system exists among all providers and hospitals.
More providers are coming on board, and more patients are asking for an electronic medical record and becoming familiar with the technology.
For more information and to read the brief, which is called “Health Information Technology Issue Brief 2014,” visit www.chaclaplata.org.
