There is no single way to interact with software "in
medicine". You need to define in which scenario such as
"during patient encounter", "when planning a procedure",
"when preparing referral documents".

it does not appeal to me directly for any scenario I can
think of such that I go "Ah, yeah, I'll use that during
patient encounters". But tell you what, that's also entirely
provider-specific. It seems that Horst, Ian, Syan, Richard
and me all have slightly to very different approaches to
documentation.

What constitutes an encounter ? How would they identified
among each other ?

Perhaps usable in planning something, not usable during patient
encounters (IMO).
