Army hospitals too. My father worked in the records department of a 13 story giant Army medical center in the '80s and '90s. While the records themselves were fat paper folders, much of the patient information was kept in a database (which I think by the '90s was an AS/400) - and part of the job of the record keepers was to take the new information from the doctors and update the patient files in the database. So while the historical record was all on paper, the most up to date stuff was in the database where it belonged. They had about 30 people doing this kind of data entry full time for a hospital of 100 doctors.
