Hospital ERs join patient record-sharing network

The system is not available for all medical records, but the ER departments took in in their own hands and set up sharing for the 2 ER rooms...and it has been very helpful.  BD 

Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network emergency departments don’t share patient information through a shared electronic network. But two of their emergency departments do just that with local clinics serving low-income residents.

St. Joseph and Parkview Hospital emergency departments joined the Healthcare Access Program in August 2006. As part of the program, the two emergency departments, Matthew 25, Neighborhood Health, the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program and the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health share critical patient information.
