Build good templates and it will be tagged the way YOU want it to
be tagged. Not the way I decided it should be. There is no
standard yet although we have discussed a good deal of the
prescription module and demographics XML with Dr. Caldwell. Good
templates also mean you don't have to edit your note. <s>
Kind of like OIO; "So flexible it's hard to believe".

A template, by definition is a one way device. You can re-import
templates to edit, not the generated text.

Thanks for the comments. Now where are all those physicians that
said they would build templates when it was ready? :-)
