They can write notes, such as lab results or telephone messages. If they are removed, the database will now have a note without a crucial identifier (the sender.) I would imagine this should make the system crash.

If this could be worked out, in court the lawyer asks "Who performed and recorded the lab?" and you are unable to identify the person. I would imagine it would then make the entire medical record suspect and make it much more difficult to defend your case. If you can delete persons, how else can you alter the record or if you are using a system so unreliable as to loose the note sender how can we rely on it.

Potentially that would then open up potential lawsuits for AC and make those who ARE using it very nervous to know they have a product that would put them at a legal disadvantage. Or at least so it would seem to me.
