Interview: Colleen Iudice, Sound Medicine reporter
Indiana has become the first state to make electronic medical records available in ambulances. In the Hoosier state, EMTs and paramedics have access to a patient’s medical history, even if that person is unconscious.
Sound Medicine's Colleen Iudice recently spoke with some emergency care workers to see what impact the new laptops are having on emergency care.
