A new team assembles

This is the first week for staff members from Atrius Health and BIDMC to work side by side in taking care of patients on our medical/surgical floors. Key players in this collaboration are the case managers who help patients and families with transition of care issues and other matters.

Seen here are Marianne Lille, BIDMC RN; Sue Farrell and Karen MacDonald, case managers from Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates; and Ellen Miller, BIDMC case manager.

Meanwhile, the information systems folks from BIDMC and Atrius have done a marvelous job in integrating our electronic medical records systems. Read more about that here on John Halamka's blog.
