Hello,
I'm not an expert in EMR's. However I work with people who are. Here
is one perspective, from a pediatric hospital.

The essential role of an EMR is to improve patient care and
physician effectivenesss/productivity.
In Ontario, there is an initiative to ensure that a child's EMR is
available to any healthcare provider who needs it. This is provided
through an online network. Whatever the concerns about EMR's in the
US, what I have been shown of it's benefits in supplying timely and
essential information about young patients at risk far outweighs any
concerns. These issues can be mitigated. There is no substitute for
supplying a doctor with thorough and up to the minute information
about their patients.
