Rockville Internal Medicine Group: Connected to CRISP
 |
The Chesapeake Regional Information System for Our Patients (CRISP) is a not-for-profit membership corporation advised by a wide range of stakeholders responsible for the healthcare of Maryland's citizens. CRISP receives input and advice from patients; hospital systems; physicians; insurance providers; technology providers; privacy advocates; public health officials; and advocates for seniors, the uninsured, and the medically underserved. CRISP was formally designated Maryland's statewide health information exchange (HIE) by the Maryland Health Care Commission, as directed by the state's legislature and Gov. Martin O'Malley in 2009.
HIE allows clinical information to move electronically between physician practices, hospitals, labs, radiology centers, and other healthcare institutions. The goal of HIE is to deliver the right health information to the right place at the right time—providing safer, more timely, efficient, effective, equitable, patient-centered care.
