"Eighty
to 90 percent of utilization is access to electronic medical
records for nurses, doctors, and pharmacists. The only thing
they care about is pulling up the record to provide care.
Server-based computing is a much better technology for what
we do. We can send a thin client out and they can plug it
in and be online."
