The Catch-22 there is that a majority of medical errors occur during shift changeover. (Google will reveal an abundance of commentary / articles). In my personal experience (Medical school) the shift change's amongst Doctors could occasionally be profoundly short, unprofessional, and unregulated (think Resident handing off to Intern, in a rush, late in the evening, using a some notes hastily written on a notepad).
Maybe Google's new project in the NHS will attack this problem by giving smartphones/tablets to medical staff and arranging the data in such a way to make accurate and fast changeover possible.
