<<<Even once it is done it is unclear that the advantages outweigh the costs.>>>

Just intuitively, think of the phone calls being made to track down test results or billing information. Then look at how many times patient information is transcribed over and over again. Then add up the cost of errors made in interpreting hand written notes. Just think of the benefits of having an accurate and comprehensive data base and the data mining that could be gained to make new discoveries. Then eliminate all the redundant and inefficient systems that cause all kinds of testing, debugging, and waste of time.

Just intuitively you should be able to see massive savings. The intangible benefits could produce even much greater benefits.
