- Abstract
The article informs that regions in the U.S. are working to exchange health information. The U.S. President George W. Bush declared a year ago that he wants the government to pave the way for "an interoperable health information technology infrastructure to improve the quality and efficiency of health care." Such an effort takes time--the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology is reportedly sorting through some 5000 pages of suggestions for the national health information network--and not all health systems and care providers want to wait for the government.
