CliniSync, a statewide health information exchange in Ohio, has announced more than 100 hospitals are now connected to the exchange.
Harrison Community Hospital in Cadiz and Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney recently became the 100th and 101st hospitals connected to the HIE.
"While we're excited by our rapid progress and the collaboration of Ohio's hospitals and medical community, we're even more enthusiastic about what this exchange means for the care of Ohio's patients," Dan Paoletti, CEO of the Ohio Health Information Partnership, which runs CliniSync, said in the news release. "When physicians and clinicians can electronically talk with one another — no matter where their patient is treated — the potential for improved care, faster and more effective treatment, and better coordination among treating physicians and facilities can occur."
