Keeping Data in Motion in the Future of Medical Records Systems


Listen Later

It’s hard to believe that for the first decades of the information age, the U.S. military kept track of health records for millions of active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen, support staff, and retired service members using pens and pencils, typewriters, copy machines, and snail-mail. Unsurprisingly, errors were all too common, as people were involved in every transaction. As hard as healthcare staff worked to get it all right, mistakes still happened, records were impacted, and patients often suffered the consequences.  Today we speak with Rob Carey, the President of Cloudera Government Soultions on how a successful EHR system allows for a person’s medical history to be available at the point of care at any military medical facility, and within seconds.
