There are many articles on the benefits of digitising medical records, and there is no doubt the benefits are real. They include medical records being available instantly to multiple users, reduced operating costs, released space, a complete audit trail of who has viewed every page, increased security and disaster recovery options. These benefits are well documented and I won’t expand on them here.

Here are my thoughts on the challenges.
