“Florida will launch in early December the first stage of a program that will eventually allow all 2.6 million Medicaid patients in the state to have their own Web-based personal health record, and let physicians see other providers’ claims data.
The state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) hopes this will help boost the overall health of Medicaid users by giving patients the ability to more closely track such things as doctor visits, immunization shots, medications and procedures performed. They’ll also have access to a large library of health topics that will be integrated with the health record.”
