In the medical industry, patients' records are sacred documents. Medical records contain a patient's entire medical history, and information crucial to future care. Government regulations (HIPAA compliance etc.) require that these records be handled with the utmost confidentiality. In order to manage the thousands upon thousands of patient, insurance company, and HMO accounts doctors and hospitals rely on sophisticated electronic medical records (EMR) systems.
