Abstract

Chapter 2 discusses the current state of electronic health records systems and their limitations. Electronic health records are effective tools in patient care but are limited to regions within a nation and do not share information across international borders. Clinical errors, misdiagnoses, and increased healthcare costs can be attributed to a gap in communication and the lack of information-sharing interoperability. Chapter 2 takes a deep dive into the information gaps in EHR systems, causations, and the consequences of the lack of interoperability. Chapter 2 also discusses the first US travel-associated case of Ebola in Dallas.
