Background
Successful medical record systems consistently make it easy for health care workers to get the information they need for patient care in a rapid, lightweight way. Most often, clinicians are blissfully unaware of the technology underneath the user interface; and this often hinders their ability to find the information they seek. For example, while there are a lot of important reasons to store clinical observations as one question/answer pair per row, and demographics as attributes within specific demographic tables, clinicians often times simply want to select new patients or look for existing diagnoses for a given patient without having to know what part of the user interface what they're looking for. With the advent of the web and searching paradigms, an opportunity exists to apply well understood paradigms for web searching, to medical record system searching.
