This will give you ongoing discussions on the implications of medical records.

Can you be more specific? What type of practice or level of care? e.g. Outpatient Family Practice, Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital, Optometrist Office, Nursing Home, etc.

I do many solutions for inpatient and outpatient psychiatric hospitals and counseling offices.

There's many fundamental differences depending on what type of service you are wanting to develop for.

Also - are you wanting to include a business side of the EMR that includes Utilization Management or, god forbid... billing. Billing seems to be the bug that people have trouble with.

My advice, don't reinvent the wheel just because you can. If the business office is happy with some old DOS based system that works.. let it be.
