Mount Sinai Hospital patients to receive patient smart cards
E-Health Trend Watch, March 17, 2006
Patients discharged from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York will receive a wallet-sized medical card that contains information usually contained in medical charts at the doctor's office. The program is being developed by information technologists at Mount Sinai in collaboration with Siemens Communications and Elmhurst Hospital Center, which successfully tested a pilot program. The cards will be distributed at Mount Sinai and eight other area hospitals affiliated with the teaching hospital. A goal of the card is to reduce medical errors by storing a great deal of medical information that can be easily accessed and updated.
