What are the main issues at play blocking the digitalization of patient records in the United States? High cost to hospitals and private practices? Patient privacy? Insistence on maintaining a tradition of incomprehensible doctor handwriting?
Is this an issue that the government (federal or state) has jurisdiction to act on by insisting on the use of digital records? Or is it to be left to the discretion of private practice, or perhaps benevolent third parties.

Never underestimate the need for paper records.
I've gone digital with my grading but for a hospital to go digital would either require retraining everybody to become data processors and medical practitioners or they'd have to hire more CIM's to do it.
