“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.

It appears that TVRH and TVH both use the same EMR. SO they are able to better communicate and understand what is happening with the patient.
If that is your point... I agree. That EMR system is one any provider can purchase (anywhere in the country). I have no idea, but maybe the TVH purchased the same EMR that TVRH has to better communicate so they can support their patients. I think that's a good thing.
