Question

A seventy-six-year-old man with a history of heart disease experiences chest pain while on vacation. He calls 911 and is transported to the nearest hospital. Upon arrival in the emergency room, he is conscious and able to communicate with doctors. He informs the staff about prior heart attacks and mentions having had his six-month checkup with his cardiologist just before leaving for vacation. How would an EHR enable doctors to determine a course of action more quickly than in a paper record environment? What information might the emergency room doctors access from the cardiologist's EHR?
