Hospital Ambulatory and Primary Care Physician Practice to Push EHR data to single PCHR system
A September 14, 2009 press release from Children’s Hospital and eClinicalWorks  announced a collaboration which they state will be “the first instance in which two separate health care provider organizations, Children’s Hospital Boston and the Pediatric Physicians’ Organization at Children’s(PPOC) , will feed a single PCHR (personally controlled health record) from their different electronic medical record (EMR) systems – giving patients a more complete, comprehensive view of their medical information.” They anticipate the new system to be implemented by early 2010.

Kyle Hardy of Healthcare IT News reported on September 14, 2009 that Daniel Nigrin, MD, chief information officer at Children’s, said “This will exemplify a revolutionary new model for health information exchange and present combined health data to patients in a way that is easily accessible and manageable.”
