Response from Terry Hannan to Mohamed 

Mohamed, your screen highlights what I believe is one of the very difficult 
areas of CPOE and data capture of physician/clinician thinking. I have tried 
this model many times in my summary format records but the complexity of the 
symptom sets defies the easy use of drop down tables or lists. It tends to be 
come a never ending and ultimately confusing unmanageable list and screen 
display. 
What you are trying to simplify/represent is medical knowledge (see L.Weed, 
Medicine in Denial 2011).
I am not sure how to represent this knowledge in a "concept dictionary" model 
but it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on this.
I hope these comments are of benefit.
P.s. my summary record does NOT have the tools available that are in OpenMRS. 
Terry
