BILLINGS - Hospitals across the state have been adopting the health information exchange program, Big Sky Care Connect (BSCC), which is meant to make sharing patient information from separate hospitals faster and simpler.
Dr. Randy Thompson, Chief Health Analytics Officer for Billings Clinic, said the online information exchange is vital for doctors needing to treat patients as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Without the program, providers needing information on new patients will end up waiting hours or possibly days to get their medical history.
Dr. Thompson said the more organizations that join, the more data will be collected on patients throughout Montana.
