I have two comments, first the nurse would need to be sleeping under a rock to not know to bring the patient’s reported travel to the doctors attention. What happened to old fashioned nursing assessment?

Second, with the advancements in technology and analytics– EHR should incorporate real-time alerts based on global health issues/CDC alerts. Particularly hospital systems.

My ex-husband caught a “jungle virus” that nearly killed him 9 years ago. It was only because of our personal affiliation with a physician who treated patients in Vietnam and was an adviser to the CDC that he lived. Even with the CDC database, the docs in the US had no idea how to diagnose, nor treat jungle diseases.

With our world shrinking due to overseas travel, having Complete and Accurate EHR data is vital today for the health of people around the world. This data added with the CDC, World Health Org. databases, etc., is the only way medical professionals will be able to keep up with current diseases and their control.
