Posted on April 25, 2008October 24, 2024 by Dissent

Nancy Ferris reports on Government Health IT:

The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) has directed its health plans, which cover more than 1.2 million people, to participate in the statewide health information exchange that is under development.
