GLHC – Statewide Community Health Record
Description
Healthcare providers and hospitals have struggled with obtaining patient records from other healthcare systems in a timely manner, especially real-time information during emergent situations. It is also difficult to obtain information when the patient is not forthright about where they have sought treatment. Great Lakes Health Connect (GLHC) in Grand Rapids, MI, partnered with Medicity and several acute care hospitals to provide near real-time patient information into via a statewide community health record, available to participating providers throughout Michigan. Information includes: ADT, Lab, Radiology and Transcribed Documents.
