Jim Rossiter participates in a Q&A about "community connectivity" -- which he defines as everything outside an EHR that is required to demonstrate Meaningful Use. It includes exchange of health information, connecting with patients through an online portal, and health quality measures. Jim explains the strong emphasis on enabling patients to access to their own clinical information and communicate with their physicians as a way to improve overall care. He cites Doylestown Hospital and its neighboring physicians in suburban Philadelphia as an example. They leverage NextGen Health Information Exchange to share critical data and deliver higher quality, long-term care to patients who see multiple providers across the community.
