Vermont Information Technology Leaders has hired GE Healthcare to set up a statewide consumer health information organization.
The new organization is supposed to start by establishing a chronic care information system for Vermont residents with diabetes and a medication history for all consenting patients, according to VITL, Montpelier, Vt.
VITL plans to start by making the medication histories available to emergency rooms at 2 hospitals, and then to make the histories available to all of Vermont's 15 emergencies rooms, officials say.
