IBM pilots a national EHR networkBig Blue recently announced plans to test a national health network run on electronic health records. The network will integrate information among hospitals, healthcare agencies, and consumers. Because the technology is based on "open" data standards, IBM says, it can complement virtually any national health-information structure that may be rolled out in the future. The pilot program-spanning sites in California, Minnesota, and Israel-will focus on defining and developing technology to enable multiple regional health networks to share EHRs. IBM expects the pilot to be fully operational by the end of this year.
