Nonprofit To Explore Louisville Health Record Climate

Leaders of a community group want to see if the group can move their town into the electronic patient health record era.

The Louisville Health Information Exchange Inc., Louisville, Ky., has started an 8-week effort to see how prepared Louisville doctors, hospitals and consumers are to support a community-wide health record storage system.

The effort will include Web-based surveys, telephone surveys and focus group meetings, LouHIE says.
