I have also built EMR systems. They do not achieve much over paper to be honest. Where they do make a difference is at the point of care. Scanning patient, nurse, and medications prior to delivery for example removes errors. But in terms of cost savings it really isn't that significant. Patient satisfaction is not really the issue being addressed here. Cost of delivery and efficient use of limited resources is.
