Doctors scrap paper records for speed and to cut costs

Doctors scrap paper records for speed and to cut costs: "Dr. Donald McIntire's office has a perfect decor for a pediatrician, with dozens of Donald Duck figures perched near his desk. What you won't find are stacks of patient records, or even a desktop computer.
McIntire has gone wireless and paperless.
Gone are hand-written prescriptions and color-coded folders holding paper records. Instead, his practice is outfitted with new computer gear and specialized software for entering, accessing, securing and storing patient information."
