First children's hospital joins Ohio's HIE

The Children’s Medical Center of Dayton is the first standalone children’s hospital in Ohio to join CliniSync, Ohio’s statewide health information exchange (HIE).

Beth Fredette, Dayton Children’s Chief Information Officer, said the hospital is proud to be the first pediatric medical center to join an HIE. “Connectivity and access to information are key strategic priorities for us,” she said. “For the safety and care of all our children, we need to make sure every provider has complete and accurate information available to them at any point in the care process. CliniSync will be key to making all of that happen.”

Dayton Children’s serves children in a 20-county region that includes Ohio and eastern Indiana. The nonprofit, 155-bed regional pediatric referral center employs 350 physicians, including primary care pediatricians as well as subspecialists in more than 35 areas of pediatric medicine.
