That's huge to me. And costs the doctor in the number of patients he can see, or the cost of the additional person to create the computerized form. (And I didn't even give all my data, since it was going to the government for RFID chip info for later on tagging of a human (me!))

Imagine having to enter data each session?

But if it is working for your community, I'm glad something is!

Same here. they got into our medical and mental health database by scanning each page of the clients paper file. We didnt have access to the files during the process. it was a pain in the behind but well worth it for us.
