For it to be useful, I think it would have to lessen the bureaucracy of patient records, and decrease medication mistakes by being more searchable and accessible than current record systems. If it were done correctly, I believe there would be a financial gain. Maybe not for the patients, but for the medical care providers.

I agree, but providers (especially recently) have been notoriously poor with pricing. I don't see them making an effort unless the entire industry is forced to reduce costs (which it should, hopefully soon!).
