You need to take great care with medical records. OCR is not 100%
accurate in any case, and the consequences of a single character error
in a medical record could potentially be life threatening.

This implies that the OCR would have to be checked, page by page, word
by word, by highly trained medical staff. This would not be done at
the time the doctor wanted to look at the file, but in advance as part
of the preparation. You should however have the concept checked over
by medical participants at the highest available level and checked
against best practice standards in the industry: it may be that OCR is
not considered acceptable.

The cost of buying Acrobat for each doctor is a drop in the ocean
compared to the cost of preparing medical records for use, so I don't
see that this should be an obstacle.
