I don't think it is historical data required to make a decision, it is required to store the action for historical purposes in the future. This is ultimately to bill you and to track that a doctor isn't stealing medication, improperly treating the patient, and to track it for legal purposes.
Some hospitals require you to input this in order to even get physical access to the medications.
Although a crash cart would normally have common things necessary to save someone in an emergency, so I would think that if someone was truly dying they could get them what they needed. But of course there are going to be exceptions and a system being down will only make the process harder.
