“A widely-used web-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, like Practice Fusion, holds the potential of health information exchange that is quite different than the traditional thinking of how health data can be shared between a referring doc A and a recipient doc B.
If both physicians are using the same web platform – even though they only experience the system as if it were local to their practice – they actually are connected to each other (though they may not realize it). Within a practice, of course, all patient charts of that practice (and only the charts of that practice) are shared amongst member clinicians, nurses and staff (with role-based access) – this is how Practice Fusion is organized, an is also how traditional paper chart access is organized.”
