title: Enhancing continuity of care through an emergency medical card at Intermountain Healthcare: using continuity of Care Record (CCR) standard.
abstract: The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a CCR - compliant system to enable patients at Intermountain Healthcare to (a) create/print a pocket emergency medical card - EMC (b) create/print a full CCR document, from existing data in their personal database (c) modify/add information in the database.
