Has it really been years since I posted anything? It is certainly not because my passion for the work we started has waned in any sense...To the contrary, there is so much exciting work going on there has been little time to think of chronicalling the activity. Patient involvement continues to become more of a normal activity. The Shared Care Plan (or its next generation derivative) continue to become accepted in concept and practice here in Whatcom County and well beyond.
We have 1097 active plans as of today….that is here in Whatcom County mostly through word of mouth spread. We are also working with folks in adjoining counties, plus Clallam County, King County, the State of Alaska, Oregon Health Sciences University, New Zealand, Jonkoping County Sweden on their efforts to implement and spread the SCP or the next version of it.
This model of the Personal Health Record as a bridge among practices and families, and a proxy and pathway for 'interoperability' continues to be validated. More to come...
