Medical records at $job are stored in paper for a number of reasons. An important reason is that some Doctors are very old-school and prefer to use pen and paper. Storing paper records takes a whole lot of room, though. We use automated digital tools to track where the records are stored but Doctors don't need to interact with the system at all. When they want a record, a secretary looks it up at a digital directory and fetches it from the corresponding locker.

Doctors who work on other clinics other than this one always mention that this setup is much quicker than what everybody else is pushing, which is to place a laptop on their desk so they can access medical records stored on a remote server. Digital records are something the administration likes but if a Doctor needs to turn a computer on, do the lookups themselves etc etc. then it feels like a waste of time. If you have a 20 minute slot reserved for a patient it is absurd to waste 5 minutes accesing a digital medical record.

Digital records are convenient for work done out of office, though. If a Doctor who is always on the move needs to see a medical record ASAP it is so much better if he can connect to an office server over a VPN and look the record up using a web interface.
