Traditional Command-Control Option Dying Out … Slowly!
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital recently introduced a new personal electronic health record [eHR] enabling patients to access medical information wherever and whenever they need it. Called myNYP.org, the system uses Microsoft’s HealthVault and Amalga technologies to offer patients the ability to select and store personal medical information generated during visits to NewYork-Presbyterian.
