At least two Oklahoma hospitals are making an effort to eliminate paper. St Francis Heart Hospitals in Tulsa and Oklahoma City are replacing paper files and hard to read handwritten prescriptions.

Supporters say the benefits outweigh the costs. They say lab results are reported, and prescriptions are filled quicker.
In addition, errors from bad handwriting will disappear.
