I have had a chance to visit IHS in Tucson twice and found their approch to EMR VERY convincing. Greg Shorr's approaches certainly are worth a study!

He also wrote Q-Man which does some of what Kevin and Greg W are talking
about.

Who was the doctor who worked at IHS about 10 years ago with Dr Clayton
Curtis who wrote some enhancements for searches on RPMS (variant of VistA)
that optimized the searches by sampling the information before performing
the joins, etc?  Was his last name Shorr?

Make that one of two.

Absolutely. There's no need in repeating what I've already said
regarding why I don't think there has been much demand for this
feature, and why I think the lack of it is bad for VistA. Suffice it to
say, that among Codd's rules, I consider the non-subversion rule one of
the most important, if not THE most important.

I'm sure you have. Exposing search functionality as a DBS call would be
a great first step, but I think it really can and should be optimized,
too.
