  • Title: Will paper ever go away? Document imagers bet it won't.
    Author: Siwicki B.
    Journal: Health Data Manag; 1995 Sep; 3(8):49-50, 52, 54-5. PubMed ID: 10151202.
    Abstract:
    Health care providers and payers alike would like to eliminate their paperwork, converting all information to digital form.

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.
