Why your ER doctor doesn't know your medical history

Your ER doctor has about 25 minutes to figure out your medical history and decide what to do next. Hamed Husaini, an emergency physician and physician executive, explains why so much of that data never reaches the bedside and what AI can do about it. This episode is based on his article "AI in health care data management: Curing the EHR overload," published on KevinMD. You will hear why records from skilled nursing facilities, primary care, and home health rarely get read in time, why duplicate medications and missed end-of-life directives slip through, and how a one-page AI synopsis pushed into the native EHR before you walk into the room changes what the next 25 minutes look like. Hamed argues the bottleneck is not data volume; it is the pull model that asks busy clinicians to fetch records they never have time to read. If the system already feels like it should know your records and still doesn't, this episode names why and what changes when the data starts flowing the other direction.
