Seattle Children's to Establish Pediatric Health Information Exchange

First few Article Sentences

If you are a parent, the most important thing to you is the health of your child. I know this having children ranging in ages from 2 to 27 (yes, I’m a sucker for punishment). The most critical element in the care of your child, besides excellent clinical professionals, is information. For the longest time we, as parents, have searched the internet until we’re blue in the face, scouring symptoms and potential cures for what ails our children. But there’s always been one source of information that’s not only been locked away from us, but also hard for providers to access in a timely manner. That’s the data contained in your child’s medical record; be it at your child’s general pediatric practice or at a specialist’s office like Seattle Children’s. This is about to change.
