One of the long term objectives of the HITECH Act is to improve patient care coordination; this requires all healthcare providers to communicate with one another and share patient records. More comprehensive than the CCD/CCR file, information included in the Summary of Care is:
- Basic Demographics
- Problems
- Social History (specifically smoking status)
- Instructions
- Allergies
- Encounter Diagnosis
- Care Plans
| - Functional/Cognitive Status
- Procedures
- Vital Signs
- Medications
- Medications Administered During Visit
- Results
- Immunizations
