Cool, someone should write an Emacs mode for them! I am very sympathetic to the arguments for using a keyboard-only interface, i try to achieve that on my own computer as much as possible, too.
I dunno. Emacs seems to have the very X+Y+Z+butt+cat kind of key combo issues that was mentioned as a problem elsewhere.
The basic benefit of these interfaces seem to be about single keys (F keys mostly) for reaching major functions.
I am guessing that once the patients id number has been entered, a single key brings up the journal, and one can page through entries (and their content) using single presses (next/prev entry, page up/down style).

You can rebind stuff. As an example, the magit mode for rebasing has a whole bunch of one-key functions, specifically optimised for the task at hand. A "doctor-mode" might have exactly those F-keys do what you describe. But anyway, this is a case of me wanting to do everything in Emacs :P. At least that would allow the rest of the system to be upgraded, instead of running DOS(box) or whatever they do now...
