Medical record digitization seems to have had a neutral-to-negative impact on hospital efficiency. It's hard to believe since the alternative sounds mind-numbingly inefficient but there are tons of low-tech streamlined processes (like having a whiteboard in each patient's room) which are being undermined by having a constellation of disconnected staff all dumping information into Epic and not having time to read other entries.
