I just read an article on boston.com on electronic records: "Within five years, physicians could be able to access patients' records from any hospital or doctors' office in the state under a new "eHealth" initiative financed with an infusion of $50 million from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
The project, which will begin as a pilot program in three communities, could make Massachusetts the first in the nation to have a statewide electronic medical record system, which would allow doctors to easily see what kind of care a patient has received from other physicians, avoid duplications, and prevent medical errors."
I thought of you when I read this! Maybe someday soon I'll start seeing *your* name in articles like this. :-)
