The departments since late 2009 in San Diego have been testing data exchange among their systems and those of Kaiser Permanente facilities in the region. Now, the departments will partner with Tidewater-area hospitals that have joined a health information exchange.

The pilot will launch this year and service members and veterans in the region are invited to participate.
