This is what is necessary if we are to get e-health initiatives going. As a cliniciian 
I like to do things myself - at least to a great extent. I like systems I can change 
easiy, create things of my own, share these with others, change it to use for other 
purposes in the hospital, change it easily to a native language for those who are not 
too proficient in English.

If I have to go looking for a busy programmer and beg for (or pay for indeed, if that 
brings quick results) help, then wait for a month to be told that it is 
difficult/unacceptable or that "special permision"is needed to do those changes. I 
will just dump that system :)
