The Challenge

In today's healthcare system, different parts of an individual's health information may be held in many disconnected locations. A patient may have health records with several doctors, hospitals and clinics. Prescription history may be spread across several different pharmacies. Any changes or updates to these health records may never reach the current treating provider and self-care information, such as diet and exercise regimes, may be completely unavailable. How can we ever see the whole picture?
