A summary from http://www.chieftain.com/business/1185000933/3...

ALAMOSA, COLORADO - Officials at the San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center, the main hospital for this Rocky Mountains haven, hope that in the next 3 to 5 years, information retrieval for patient records at the 85-bed hospital someday will involve a computer keystroke instead of a walk to the filing cabinet.

The hospital, recently recognized for the IT advances it's made in the past year, is now looking to completely digitize its medical records. With $1 million in fundraising money, it hopes to complete the project in 3 to 5 years. The project also gives the hospital added security. Files won't "disappear".
