I come back, again, to my question about the situation where Doctor A (in 
GNUmed) desires for report B (created in GNUmed) to go to Doctor C (not in 
GNUmed).

I suppose that in some magical future, there will be some LDAP or other 
directory containing a resolvable address and encryption key via which the 
GNUmed doctor can push a button and the document will "go" to the desired 
praxis / doctor.

Until magic becomes real, what suggestions exist?

- doctor to physically print the document to paper, and if it contains 
sufficient routing information (for example To and Cc) then the staff can know 
to whom to fax or mail it

- doctor to place a digital copy or representation document (PDF) into a 
directory which the front desk staff are to monitor and handle accordingly

I suppose the above will both work, and are current state.
