What you describe is "light client", good for data management.
In order to achieve knowledge management, I prefer the "workstation"
approach since you need fast processing of lots of datas (instead of a
large,
but "slow" data repository, you store and process locally the usefull datas
of the current
patient).
Currently, it seems to me (tts I work on it) the good strategy is groupware
oriented,
with "continuity of care" servers with "light clients" for data viewing, and
"workstations" for
real working.
Regards,
