The Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) has a plan to create a Web-based system that will give all 15,000 members access to electronic medical records.
According to excerpts from the article:
The East Lansing-based Michigan State Medical Society plans on Jan. 1 to launch its MSMS Connect under a contract with Covisint, asubsidiary of Detroit-based Compuware Corp. The system will act like a homepage for various computer- and Web-based health care programs used by physicians.
