This is a message from the Practice:
SUMMARY CARE RECORD
THE PRACTICE IS SCHEDULED TO UPLOAD DATA IN OCTOBER 2014.
THIS IS NOT CARE.DATA.
SUMMARY CARE RECORD IS AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD
THAT PROVIDES HEALTHCARE STAFF WITH RAPID ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL
INFORMATION ABOUT A PATIENT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THEM WITH DIRECT
CARE AND TREATMENT.
