OK. I thought you missed it particularly since you were
putting more research into GEHR which was superceded by
OpenEHR. I suppose, OpenEHR is the most promising candidate
for things like terminologies/structured data.

Yes, the license issue is there. It was just a hint as to
where terminologies come from.

re icd-9/10 search:

A good/smart/fast search for that is needed but should IMHO
work against db tables.

I think this would be very useful.

Hm, a starting point would be the table we already have in
gmClinical. Sort of a Must-Read is "The Endangered Medical
Record. Ensuring Its Integrity in the Age of Informatics" by
Slee, Slee, Schmidt (good summary googleable). GnuMed would
certainly greatly gain from your implementation work in this
area. So by all means go for it.
