a) I don't want to have "invalid" data in the backend right
   from the beginning if I can help it, invalid data kills my
   patients.
b) We are ALREADY compromising: Our current data access
   security scheme (grouped rights mapped to grants) don't
   suffice for, say, HIPAA. Eventually we'll need row-level
   granularity.

Huh ? Even if so that's not a valid reason for not making it
part of the design.

Unfortunately so.

I'll try my best when time allows. Roughly there currently are
two schemes in use: a manual "mapping" done by me (seen the
vaccinations edit area) and a "defined" mapping done by you
(see PastHx I believe). Mine is cleaner code, acceptable and
works. Yours works, is way more elegant but isn't "clean" code.
What we need is clean and elegant code. We'll get there. Post
