Hm, I would tend to think that an EMR should help achieving
correct documentation. Correct wins over fast, IMO.

Only once it has encouraged correct information should it
enable entering that in an effective or even fast way.

However, those bands contain

a) boilerplate (like praxis address)

b) generic LaTeX code with placeholders pulling actual

generic statements fixed inside such bands.
