« 2 diagnosed with West Nile virus | Main | Breastfeeding medical student gets day in court » Monday, September 17, 2007Children's group building online medical records for major employer groupA group from Children's Hospital Boston has been hired by a corporate consortium to develop online medical records for their employees. Dossia, a group of eight major employers including Wal-Mart and Intel, chose the Children's Hospital Informatics Program to adapt its own program called Indivo to provide secure health records for 5 million employees and their dependents and retirees. The Children's program, which also has ties to Harvard and MIT, has been working for 10 years to create Web-based records for patients that include a lifetime of health information across different doctors and care sites. The Dossia goal is to allow its workers to have access to their medical records, to communicate with their doctors, and to pull together information from different sources, the group said. Dossia does not disclose details of its contracts, Colette Cote, a spokeswoman for member Pitney-Bowes and Dossia, said when asked about the financial terms of the agreement with Children's. The other companies in Dossia are AT&T, Sanofi-aventis, Applied Materials, BP America Inc. and Cardinal Health. Indivo will be introduced at Children's this fall and Dossia plans to roll out its version to some members by the end of the year, its statement said. Posted by Elizabeth Cooney at 05:06 PM
