Is the above based on what list members themselves would first wish 
to use? Or what people think most needs to demonstrate the potential 
of gnumed?

I ask because in any surveys of local doctors who lack ANY EMR (they 
just have appointment scheduling and billing) their first desire 
would be to have a system to look after
- the filing, organization, storage and retrieval of test results and/or
- prescription (medication) management

The above can be tremendously useful even while a doctor otherwise 
maintains a paper record. I cannot however see that an EMR in which 
one enters notes and vaccinations and views scanned documents is much 
good without being able to handle the labs (unless people are 
proposing to scan all paper labs into their system, ***even when 
those are available electronically***?
