Bolivar Patients Access Records through GMail
Patients at a Bolivar hospital are now able to view their medical records by using their G-mail accounts. KSMU’s Royal Yates has more.
Citizens Memorial Healthcare of Bolivar is integrating its electronic medical records system with Google Health. Google Health is a system that lets patients see their personal health records over the internet. Tamera Heitz-Peek is the Director of Marketing at CMH, and she says she thinks this partnership was the next logical step in advancing the hospital’s records system.
“This big change didn’t happen all of a sudden. We have been very progressive in how we handle our electronic medical records. We have been doing electronic medical records since 2003. We’ve been working on this, and we are actually leaders in this area for rural hospitals,” said Heitz-Peek
