Theme: Real-‐Time InformaEon Exchange As digital and electronic soluHons make headway, we are finally waving goodbye to the fax machine. Web-‐based technology ensures the informaHon gets to the appropriate locaHon in a clinically relevant Hme frame. When Hme is of the essence, as is oSen the case in trauma or emergency situaHons, electronic sharing is a must. Improving the speed and efficiency of informaHon sharing allows medical teams to idenHfy the paHent’s transfer needs. It also provides the medical staff more Hme to review the paHent’s condiHon and prepare surgical rooms. Read: How to Transfer Images During PaHent Transfers
