I'll first say that I haven't read the full article, which frankly, is the same as most everyone who writes a comment.
The title and intro reminded me of this piece from the New Yorker a few months ago that written by a doctor and his experiences and others with the computers in the doctor field.

The summary is that health care, in the US and other countries too, is a giant system where even little changes take time to go through and become accepted. People who say there's an easy solution for electronic records are in no way correct.
It's a great read both in the information it gives, and also how good of a write the doctor is. I love his writing style.
