Today's final session described the success of a clinical record sharing solution in Tennessee. Up to 2 million patients (Medicare, Blue Cross participants and Nisson employees) are part of solution which allow care professionals to access in real time the patients complete record.
The solution has been live for two years with real reductions in the cost of delivering care with improved patient outcomes.
The session didn't concentrate upon technologies, although HTB, is a key component.
It's not clear to me if the US has a more relaxed IG framework on the basis of healthcare being paid for - so a patient has to except the terms and conditions of the provider organisation. Certainly in this case patients had to opt out of the service, but under 1% did so.
