Children in foster care have higher health care costs and poor care coordination, often due to inconsistent information exchanged between health care and child welfare systems. This study implemented secure automated information sharing and detected improvements in time spent gathering information, health care services delivered, and billing practices at participating health care systems.
寄养儿童的医疗费用较高,且护理协调不善,这通常是由于医疗保健系统和儿童福利系统之间交换的信息不一致所致。本研究实施了安全的自动化信息共享,并发现参与医疗保健系统在收集信息、提供医疗服务和计费方面的时间有所改善。
