Indeed. We were very wary of this CDA style duplication, which from my 
point of view is pretty ambiguous if not downright problematic 
<http://wolandscat.net/2012/01/28/the-cda-dual-content-conundrum/>.

However, unless we develop some new formal relationship between the text 
and the structured part for orders and prescriptions - something which 
to do properly I think is probably a PhD thesis level of work - then for 
now we have to accept this bit of 'duplication' and understand it for 
what it is. A lot of work has been done in the UK in this area, and it 
may be that there is an answer already available - if anyone has 
information on it, would be useful to share.
