Digitizing the world's medical records was supposed to make doctors' lives easier and patients' lives longer. But unlike banking and shopping, medicine has had a rough time transitioning to the new digital order.

Most of the time, siloed medical information is more of a nuisance than anything else. But when Hurricane Harvey hit the Houston area, evacuations and rescue efforts forced patients to seek treatment anywhere they could.

For those in healthcare, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization ACT of 2015 is upon us, and the ideological payment shift in healthcare that has garnered "tremendous bipartisan support in both the House and Senate" is changing how caregivers get paid.
