It would be wonderful to incorporate some of those ideas with the best of the (not entirely novel) ideas embodied in openEHR, plus filling in some of the gaps in openEHR (which still has a lot of ground to cover before it can specify entire clinical applications), and realise those ideas in a Web-based implementation using RoR, Django, Turbogears or whatever turns out to be the best bet after some careful evaluation and trials. And to simultaneously use this "meta-application" environment to build a primary care EHR/EMR - one which is forward-compatible and able to evolve easily due to its underlying, fundamental design.
But all that is applied research, and best done in an academic setting (but using iterative agile development methods with close involvement and engagement of real-life GPs and other users, and using open source licensing which encourages and facilitates collaboration and in-kind contributions). But it would need at least $1m funding, ideally a bit more. However, $1m is not a great deal in the big scheme of things, given the potential benefits. Perhaps I'm dreaming.
