Karsten I do not go with the screen shot idea - the issue here is the accountability and if the information is stored in an explicit manner and the rendition can be stored (XSLT or application) then it will be clear what the person saw - the problem with screenshots is the plethora of views that might be used in a single consultation. And can we be sure that the screen was paged down? And what was the resolution of the screen - and the visual acuity of the practitioner - and what parts of the screen did their eyes stray to...
Our research in GEHR had a clear outcome - clinicians did not want this sort of EHR and it served no useful purpose.
