Scott Calahan, MD
Pediatrician
“With the use of our
HealthBridge exchange I
can access almost 100% of
my patient’s information on
my system, directly in the
patient’s chart. I get results
from Margaret Mary
Community Hospital as
well as Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital and will
get results from Riley
Hospital in Indianapolis!”

In Paoli, Indiana
“I can print out a copy of
a prescription list and
create a plan for the
patient”
“Then the patient is able
to leave the office with a
good understanding of
their meds. It’s a safety
issue for me.”
