RE: [Hardhats-members] EHR- Who leads the pack

[David Sommers]

Good article.  But I don’t understand the question.  What does the VA have that other EMRs don’t?  The article was tackling the nation’s healthcare problem of information exchange.  The VA is simply an Enterprise sharing within.  I don’t think the VA is defining a health record sharing initiative simply by using VistA (because even removing a patient from VistA is hard with the cross linking).   /David.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thurman Pedigo Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 11:10 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Hardhats-members] EHR- Who leads the pack   http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Story_ID=3909439&subjectID=348909   This just in. Who, other than VA, has it in the USA?   Thanks,   thurman
