MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin health officials want to gather input on how to share electronic medical records.
Department of Health Services Secretary Karen Timberlake plans to launch a series of summits to gather comments on e-record sharing at a meeting in Sauk City on Tuesday morning.
The idea is to identify requirements and priorities for a sharing infrastructure for stakeholders across the medical world.
State health officials plan to hold similar summits around Wisconsin throughout July. Health care organizations, insurers, hospitals, doctors, consumers and local government leaders have been invited.
