Use sub-modules and load them: 

#lang racket 

(module prescription1 PPL ...)

(module prescription2 PPL ...)

etc. 

Your PPL (prescription programming language) may define a standard interface 
that provides just the right pieces in a standard way, like a Scribble file 
provides a document, and that your rendering run-time turns the prescriptions 
into the desired JPEG shape. If your hospital ever moves to TIFF or WHATEVER 
format, you can shift the latter easily. 

Doing so will reduce the time you have to spend away from patients and with the 
software. That's what we're trying to help you with, by looking ahead just a bit

And if you can formulate specs, I am sure people on this list will contribute. 
It's the Racket way.
