It is easy to say that, in a world of modern technology, our data is automatically more secure and accurate, but when the digital age is in constant battle with misinformation spread on social media, hackers, and data systems that cannot keep up with demand, how far can we truly say we have come in terms of managing medical data, and is there anything we could learn from our ancient counterparts?  

This presentation will discuss the roots of medical information management in the western world, how it developed later in time, and what we must consider in order to improve our current standards to ensure even more secure and efficient means of managing medical information. How have the recording and management of medical information of yesterday impacted the approaches today?
