I agree... although if provided a tree in context, most doctors faced with a 
patient who had cough with ramipril (ACE inhibitor) might accept the 
opportunity to multiple-select


x       C09A ACE INHIBITORS, PLAIN
x       C09B ACE INHIBITORS, COMBINATIONS
        C09C ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS, PLAIN
        C09D ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS, COMBINATIONS
        C09X OTHER AGENTS ACTING ON THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM

however this is maybe best built outside any one EMR. It would be intelligence 
as offered *to* the EMR following a call-out *from* the EMR to intelligent 
software (FreeDiams)?

Maybe even something that FreeDIams 0.7+ --- especially if FD achieved a 
community of users building templates --- might be able to store as pre-built 
intelligence (... ??)
