I don't know why they picked this one article out of the entire November 2004 issue of Academic Emergency Medicine devoted to Healthcare Technology and IT in the ED, but it's very cool that we made the California Healthcare Foundation's iHealthBeat.

Electronic clinical documentation eventually will "improve immediate care, promote efficiency, and permit ready communication of critical patient information" (Davidson, Academic Emergency Medicine, November 2004).
