Documents are currently stored as independent files with an index kept
in the database.
Results are kept in the database as plain text (unencrypted thankfully).
This means it would be more readily searcheable. For this reason my
personal preference would be the results table for incoming documents. I
would also prefer incoming documents without any form of markup (html,
rtf, doc etc.) which makes searching more of a possibility.
I note that SQL Server Express (the free one) is now available with full
text indexing/searching so there is excellent potential to bring google
style EHR searching to the GP's desktop. I hope the vendors are up to
the challenge.
