Why does a clinical document lose intelligence and provenance when it leaves the system that created it?

Clinical data can move. The trust context around the document often does not. UD proposes a complementary portable document layer—not an EHR replacement.

A medical document should be able to tell you what it is, where it came from, what changed and whether the final state is intact.
