Answers:
Online charting in doc offices and hospitals reduces lost paperwork, and makes sure the notes can be available in several places at once. Not to mention, they can be read. It can also be a pain in the rumpus.

Computer aided navigation systems speed surgery, and allow for minimally invasive procedures. Things like brain tumors or aneurysms can be zapped by a lazer, right in the middle of the grain, with computer imaging and navigation. Lots better than cutting the head open to get there, and destroying a lot of brain tissue in the way.

Computer aided imaging can take several X-rays, (CAT Scan) and make an image that can be rotated all the ways in 3-D so the doc can really see the fracture or problem.

Computer assisted inventory systems help make sure the needed supplies are right there for surgery, and restocked promptly, instead of waiting until the next day to inventory and find out what is needed, and another day to get it in.

Oh, there is more.
