NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A New Orleans hospital and 11 clinics are hooked up to share electronic health records so doctors can see what treatments a patient has had and whether a new prescription would interact well or badly with medicines already being taken.

The Greater New Orleans Health Information Exchange includes 160 doctors at the LSU Interim Hospital and clinics including the Common Ground Health Clinic, the NO/AIDS Task Force and the Tulane Ruth Fertel Community Health Center. Together, they care for more than 250,000 patients.
