I learned firsthand the importance of EHRs after Hurricane Katrina left my elderly parents displaced hundreds of miles from their primary care physician in 2005.  If their records wouldn't have been a part of my "Evacuation Kit", I can only imagine how many issues would have presented themselves.The benefits of using electronic medical records are seemingly obvious, yet many healthcare providers are still resistant to the technology.  Mr. Springer makes a good case for the use of this system and my hope is that those in the medical field will read this and begin to make the necessary changes in their practice. In my opinion, this book is a must read for both providers and patients, especially those with chronic illnesses.
