  10. What is the problem? • We have; • High quality doctors and hospitals. • Often nationally ranked and recognized • Extensive network of safety net clinics • active and engaged philanthropic community But . . . • We also have; • highly fragmented healthcare system • Patients see doctors in separate health systems • Clinics serving the poor often left out of communications • The left hand often doesn’t know what the right hand is doing

  11. Three tools • Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are important, but . . . • Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) provide immediate benefit and greater cost savings through efficiency • Community-wide care coordination will provide better outcomes and cost savings
