Abstract
The clinical arm of the University of Utah operates a 400 bed general hospital and 30 specialty and subspecialty clinics and with the advent of managed care will soon be linked to a much wider network of health care facilities throughout the state. Each of these patient care facilities maintains its own patient record. To provide common access to data on any patient needed to provide continuity to the care process where ever it occurs, the institution has embarked on the development of a completely electronic patient record. In this paper we will describe the route we have taken to achieve this goal in hopes of providing some sign posts along the way for others seeking the same destination.
