Abstract
The American Academy of Family Physicians Health Information Foundation is dedicated to identifying practical solutions to address America's health care system's shortcomings, and believes the time has come to meet head-on the need for electronic health records systems in the offices of member physicians. This project envisions the establishment of a new, non-profit entity - the - which will acquire, at no cost, the rights to an existing, state-of-the-art Internet-based electronic health care record, and will develop the additional components necessary to make this the leading clinical interface and EHR system in office-based health care, with a projected one thousand medical practice users by the end of 2003, increasing to ten thousand by the end of 2004. |
