Care Everywhere Program
Talbert Medical Group and Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, one of our preferred hospitals, now communicate through an electronic system called "Care Everywhere." This system enables us to securely transfer medical records, including lab test results, instantly between our two facilities.
Now our physicians have the information they need to treat patients at their fingertips and patients have the comfort of knowing that accurate medical records are used to make treatment decisions, whether they are at a hospital or in their physician's office.
For more information on Care Everywhere, please read our August 2008 press release (available here).
