"The History of Networks in Healthcare," sidebar: HealthBridge Gets Charge Out of CHIN—Health Data Management, March, 2003

Today HealthBridge manages clinical and administrative data on its application, which runs on a 10-megabit Ethernet network from Cincinnati Bell. The network connects the 20 hospitals—along with physicians and ancillary service providers—represented by HealthBridge's delivery system members. The delivery systems have their own Internet connections; most physicians use high bandwidth cable modem or digital subscriber lines, or HealthBridge's virtual private network.
