Abstract

Chapter 4 reveals that current EHR systems are siloed and are not interoperable with external systems and information portals. However, many foreign health agencies express discontent with them and long for a robust, flexible EHR system that allows information-sharing across multiple systems. Chapter 4 also reveals that zoonotic diseases such as the bubonic plague migrated across national borders through global trade, supply chains, immigration, war, and travel during the 14th century.
