How is the electronic Medical Record changing health care delivery?

The electronic records is probably the most exciting change in my career and it has really made it exciting for me because I think society today has to answer the question - what we do and electronic health care information is every where.

We cannot deliver safe effective care in our hospitals without the use of our electronic systems. in fact 2 years ago we had a network outage which lasted about day and a half, we went from the hospital of 2002 to the hospital of 1972. It took 100 extra staff to just deliver the good quality care that we were doing with electronic records. They are an essential part of the modern hospital today.
