Over 200,000 people die each year due to a lack of access to their medical histories by the doctors who serve them; sometimes in the most critical moments. We assume doctors anywhere can pull up our charts and histories no matter where we have had care; no matter where we are. The truth is the opposite. Most doctors have no access to this most important information. Fortunately, there are modern-day pioneers who are working to establish The Health Information Exchange.
