The deployment of a single, definitive, lifetime Electronic Health Record (EHR) that can be shared across multiple care providers continues to be both a major milestone and an elusive target in the evolution of healthcare IT. Across the country RHIOs and HIEs are making good progress towards that goal, but there is still no agreement on the business or process model that will drive adoption. Health Record Banks - centralized electronic accounts containing patient-owned information, consolidated from multiple care providers and held for use at the discretion of the owner - are emerging as a strong candidate.

Case Notes is a proven, standards-based solution for patient-centric shared care at the local, regional or state level. It integrates data from multiple providers, enabling real-time access to millions of patient records which summarize a patient’s entire lifetime medical history - events, diagnoses, procedures and results. As such, it provides the ideal technology framework to achieve the vision of a Health Record Bank.
