The contract covers three of New York's largest hospitals--Mount Sinai Hospital, New York University Medical Center and New York University Downtown Hospital.
IBM will administer data centers centralizing IT facilities for each hospital, said David Leiderbach, vice president for IBM's health care industry business. Applications and data for each hospital will be stored in a main data center near Manhattan and a backup facility 100 miles away, with the backup data constantly updated through real-time mirroring.and also they can share the information together easily at the same time.

if you look at above sentences carefully you will understand the main issue for this contract is the privacy of the patient that they ignore it . it is good to save the data but sharing the data need additional contract with hospitals and patient to show they give the permission to share their information with the other hospitals .
Please share your idea with me. thanks
