It isn't just the cost savings of prevention. The EMR gives the Primary care Dr. the chance to become the really effective "Medical Accountant" who can gather the most complete set of records in one place, (The "Medical Home") and coordinate the care so you don't have the Neurologist repeating the MRI that was done in the ER and the Neurosurgeon getting a third MRI because the first was too old now and the second was "not available". Same with Labs etc,
