Bronx Medical Records Network Set
Six hospitals and health care organizations in the Bronx are set to launch a regional network next month for sharing electronic medical records.
The “regional health information system,” a partnership that includes 28 health care providers throughout the borough, will enable physicians to see a patient’s medical records wherever the patient is treated. The Bronx RHIO, as the partnership is known, is seeking to enroll 1.36 million Bronx residents in the network.
It will be rolled out at Montefiore Medical Center and Bronx Lebanon Hospital this month, and at four or more other facilities soon after that, organizers said.
“We cover the whole Bronx region in a way that no one else is doing, at this point, for any other region of the city,” the Bronx RHIO’s executive director, Barbara Radin, said. “You can see their lab results, their medications, and it will all be integrated into one screen.”
