>I think there is a chance that these systems will lead to a change where the note isn't the fundamental record of the encounter. Instead different artifacts are created specifically for each entity that needs it. Billing gets their view, and scheduling gets theirs, and, etc etc..

This is what an EHR does somewhat. The discrete data elements in the DB and the way they are displayed in the system are a better record than free text notes.

The problem is creating standards so this data is easily exchanged. Anyone can read and parse a free text note - but if we had standards this would be less necessary.
