It is the same as with guidelines... a guideline can list, and a decision 
support system can be hooked-to and identify and recommend -- that a patient 
should APPARENTLY not be managed in a certain way but needs to allow the entry 
anyway since the ill-advised action could have already been done (and may need 
to be recorded) or maybe the doctor actually knows some valid reason why the 
rule does not apply. Maybe it was decided that an injection which was to have 
been given intramuscularly was actually only given subcutaneously etc
