The Defence Medical Information Capability Programme (DMICP) system is being rolled out to all UK Army medical facilities.
The system will then be implemented in the Defence Dental Services, Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Navy and permanent overseas bases by August 2008.
After 2008, a version of the system will be available in field hospitals, on board ships and on the battlefield via laptops and other portable equipment.

Ah, yes.... soon the paperless office, the long-awaited solution to the legal profession's love affair with weighty tomes and their deathless prose. MD's are not far behind in that race, IF anyone can read what they write. At least if we can get them onto a keyboard we'll discover how really deficient in English language skills they might be.
