This article in the HSJ (sorry link only works for me as could not find this article on HSJ on line and copyright prevents me sharing publicly) shows the results of a case study. In the study, community nurses were given ruggedised laptops with 3G cards.
The expected result was that travels costs would go down but in fact that did not happen (they stayed static). This is because instead of going back to the office, the nurses made 5% extra visits. Using the computers allowed them to make their notes as they went along.
Data is not stored on the machine, making sensible use of the cloud.
