Isn't that what transactions are all about in an MVCC
database ?

This might be achievable with a few flattening and/or even
materialized views inbetween the NetEpi code and the OpenMRS

Well, the path of least resistance here is to scan it and
use it as a background image in some text editor or other so

while it is (technically) written on top of the background
image. We then save the result as any other old document
tied into the medical record.
