Integration of the personally controlled electronic medical record into regional inter-regional data exchanges: a national demonstration.
We present the approach taken in a Massachusetts-based national demonstration project to integrate the PING personally controlled health record (PCHR) with the MA-SHARE network, the state-wide inter-organizational data exchange. We describe how we have created a patient-controlled gateway to the network, and how PCHRs have become a first class data source in the network.
