no,  but I thought it was relevant to the topic of  EHR, since people 
were discussing the belgium ehr model.
I suppose you could try to map a gnumed clinical / demographic record to 
a  MUMPS heirarchical array to learn
MUMPS, as well as find out what heirarchical databases are like compared 
to relational ones.
The "query" mechanism of MUMPS looks attractive , specify the instance 
values of each path element of a path
to a piece in the EHR as a list. e.g. in gnumed  
find("xlnk_identity.clin_encounter.lab_request.test_result" . [4,1,1,1] )
