Local, National & Global Patient Summary Testing and Collaboration!

Hello PSWG members!

As we look at the calendar and see November 28, 2024, it's hard to believe how quickly this fall season has flown by and that 2024 is almost over! Reflecting on the past year, we've witnessed incredible progress with the Patient Summary, thanks to your collaboration. I'm thrilled to see this momentum continue into 2025, with some fantastic opportunities for you to get involved!

Exciting News! The Patient Summary will be tested and discussed from local, national, and global perspectives at the upcoming IHE North America Connectathon event in February 2025!
