Health care providers and payers alike would like to eliminate their paperwork, converting all information to digital form. Many provider organizations are attempting to implement computerized patient record systems designed to eventually eliminate the traditional file folders crammed with paper records. And a widespread movement to electronic data interchange for financial transactions holds out hope of eliminating paper claims and related financial transactions. But moving from a paper-intensive world to a computer world takes time, and the transition will never be complete.
