They can't. Everything is EMR (electronic medical records) these days. Even if you delete something, the original remains and only the software vendor can retrieve it, the end user has no ability to permanently delete anything that he/she "erased". Another change in medicine that does nothing to cure disease but certainly aids lawyers.
