Miami Children's puts medical records online


Miami Children's Hospital is the first hospital in Florida, and possibly the nation, to give patients online access to their medical records, thanks to a program developed by a local business.

Starting in early September, consenting patients and their parents were able to go online to view summaries of their hospital stays, images of surgery and recovery and prescription drug regimen. The system is only installed in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU), which sees 250 to 300 patients a year, said Jeff White, who directs IT for that department.
