The first attempt to digitize Ebola health records

Keeping detailed patient records during the Ebola outbreak can be a nightmare. Currently, healthcare workers use very basic methods, ranging from scanning files to writing on white boards to calling results across rooms to simple memorization. But the International Rescue Committee, a crisis organization, is about to change that by bringing in electronic health records to its new Ebola treatment unit opening the week of Dec. 15 in Monrovia, Liberia.
