“The Villages® Regional Hospital shares the same Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with TVH so our team can access your medical history, test results, and treatments at any time. In addition to the TVH team members we have overseeing your care at the hospital, this shared medical record helps with care coordination to ensure the best health outcomes for you”
System - Wikipedia
“A system is a group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole. A system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.” NOTE: no mention of financial connection!
For me the bottom line is to help the patient first.

Using that logic, if the medical group I worked for in CA happened to use the same EMR software, would that make them the same entity as TVRH? When I was part of the team in CA evaluating various EMR programs, one of the features we sought was the ability for the information to be available wherever one of our patients happened to need care. Using the same program as TVRH doesn’t make Villages Health the same entity, rather it enhances patient care by making information readily available to the people providing the care.
