The Primary Care Information Project (PCIP) at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene worked with local clinicians to establish an electronic data system, and the authors reviewed PCIP-generated data sets to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy. The authors discuss findings, including the strengths and challenges associated with using electronic health records in post-disaster settings.
