BERLIN – Atlantic General Hospital is the first hospital on the Eastern Shore to begin actively sharing patient demographic data and clinical test results through the Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) health information exchange.
The CRISP health information exchange, or HIE, is one of many such exchanges being put into use across the country to allow hospitals and other health care organizations to share important diagnoses and treatment data about their patients. This exchange of data allows a given hospital’s clinical staff to quickly flesh out a medical history and establish the presence of any chronic illnesses or existing conditions for a patient who has arrived for care, which will dictate how they approach that person’s medical care.
