You live in a small rural community in southern Indiana but decide to spend a weekend in Chicago. Unfortunately, you&#8217;re involved in a serious car accident and you&#8217;re rushed to a Chicago hospital. In today&#8217;s world, the ER staff doesn&#8217;t know you or your medical history. Valuable time could be lost as the ER team ascertains your history along with your medical condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">Alumnus <b>Dr. Todd Rowland &#8217;85<\/b> and Wabash interns <b>Austin Shurtz &#8217;08<\/b> and <b>Jason Siegel &#8217;08<\/b> are working on the solution &#8211; Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Our students, under Todd&#8217;s direction, are developing and field testing EMRs this summer. Austin and Jason have developed templates the doctors simply fill in during a visit. These templates become a part of the patient&#8217;s medical record and can be safely shared, electronically, almost instantaneously. So that Chicago emergency room could have the opportunity to review your medical record before you even arrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">Todd, Austin, and Jason are changing our world for the better. Cool. Very cool indeed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\"><i><span style=\"font-size: 11px\">Photo (courtesy of Howard Hewitt); Austin Shurtz &#8217;08, Jason Siegel &#8217;08, Dr. Todd Rowland &#8217;85<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine this scenario.
