Sam, and others, For your information. Slowly I'm preparing an European project for the 7th Framework program around the topic: the EHR. Clinical decision support and a common open source EHR-engine is part of it. Eurorec (the European Institute for the Health Record) might become the main developer and submitter.
Lets generate a set of research questions that we can write into the project proposal.
