A new study finds HEALTHeLINK may be helping to streamline diagnostic testing in emergency cases. The Brookings Institution, in cooperation with HEALTHeLINK, has conducted a pilot study focused on the use of health information exchange technology and how it may have helped to reduce lab tests and radiology exams in emergency rooms at three area hospitals--Kenmore Mercy, ECMC and Buffalo General.
WBFO's Jay Moran discussed the findings with Dan Porreca, the executive director of HEALTHeLINK.
