This is not a technical issue but more of a human frailty issue (which
could affect promotions of an open source EMR):

If you're an MD, which of these two products would you choose to
use(assuming it's not imposed on you by the hospital or HMO):

Product A: open source, all transactions logged, not editable by anyone
-even you -, perfect for electronic medico-legal documentation

Product B: open source, all transactions logged, _editable only by you the
MD_, (ergo, imperfect for electronic medico-legal documentation- but
good enough for paper documentation)...

MD's (and even non-MD's)  please tell me --- which would you prefer? the
"perfect" EMR "A" or the imperfect EMR "B"?

Really more of an ethical question. But could play a role in compliance.
