An August 30 article, "Electronic Health Records Rise Above
Harvey's Floodwaters," in Bloomberg BNA's Health
Care Daily Report and other publications discussed how
the widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) in the
greater Houston area has helped local healthcare providers continue
to support displaced patients and providers in the wake of
Hurricane Harvey's destruction. Day Pitney's Eric Fader was
quoted in the article.
Eric pointed out that EHRs and cloud storage provide necessary
remote access and interoperability, as well as protection from
natural disasters. He added, "Healthcare provider clients of
mine had their paper records destroyed when Hurricane Sandy flooded
lower Manhattan and it was a real wake-up call to other providers
in the area, and I'm sure the same thing will happen in
Harvey's aftermath."
