An update and press release on the efforts and accomplishments of the Massachusetts e-Health Collaborative...94% of the patients have opted to consent with the information exchange...work in progress!....BD 
MAeHC announced today that we have had 25,000 patients consent to having their data exchanged over the health information exchange in North Adams. This is a terrific achievement as it represents a high opt-in rate (94% of those asked) and a large fraction of the entire North Adams community (in the one year since go-live, we've reached over half of the roughly 40,000 people who live in the North Adams cachement area).

Boston – The Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative (MAeHC) announces that the North Adams eHX (electronic health exchange), one of three health information exchanges in the MAeHC electronic health record pilot program, has reached a key milestone. More than 25,000 patients have consented to having their information shared in the eHX. This represents a consent rate of 94% of all patients who have been asked to participate.
More than 50 physicians in 14 practices in the North Adams region are using the eHX, which was developed by eClinicalWorks of Westborough, Mass. “We’re very excited about the success of the eHX and the rapid adoption by the pilot practices,” says Dave Delano, director of information technology for the Northern Berkshire Health System. “We’re confident that providing secure access to real-time, shared clinical information at the point of care will improve patient safety and clinical outcomes.”
