Ever had trouble answering a routine question? It happens to everyone. Sometimes words fail us. And there’s no worse time for it to happen than during a medical emergency. Ferdinand Velasco, MD, the chief medical information officer for Texas Health Resources, explains that perhaps it’s the stress of a frightening situation. Or maybe it’s just too hard to remember every test, medication and procedure you’ve had. What if you’re unconscious? If you can’t speak for yourself, who will? Fortunately, Texas Health Resources has implemented electronic health records (EHR) in its family of hospitals. The EHR keeps your medical records and those of your family always available, so they’re there when your physician — or any other physician — needs them. So that even in the most dire emergency, you will always have a voice. Electronic Health Records: One more reason Texas Health Resources is leading the way.
