Geisinger Health System - On the leading edge of the Electronic Health Record revolution
Imagine: an orthopedist sets a woman’s fractured arm 150 miles from her home clinic. Within minutes, her local facility is able to view the clinical images, patient records, and billing information. This access is extremely helpful when she goes to her own doctor to get the cast removed six weeks later. And because her records are accessible system-wide, it also makes it easier for her to get invoice copies and make payments at the facility of her choice. That kind of instant, secure access to medical information has been the holy grail of healthcare for years. And with the federal government’s recent mandate that all U.S. healthcare providers implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems by 2015, the challenge is even more daunting. Working with Vignette, Geisinger is already there.
