C O M (612) 396-1455 In this issue of MD News, we zero in on orthopedics and the changes coming from this field that may have a tremendous impact on the delivery of health care. In our cover story, we speak to administrators and providers at Regions Hospital and Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare about how their collaboration is providing a unique, one-location atmosphere for trauma patients. Also in this issue, we dive into the potential safety issues inherent in electronic health record (EHR) systems.
