I'm older, and maybe this speaks to my age, but I also daily dream of a TUI EMR. Orders done using awk for text field processing, grepping for results, editing notes in vim with medical syntax highlighting and completion...

Alas, I spend my days cursing as Cerner re-draws the unnecessary html and the focus refuses to follow the mouse, and that no one along any of multiple points took the time to write an interaction checker that didn't result in getting three popups to acknowledge that epi boluses given at separate times during a code (and now the patient is dead) don't interact.

Oh man, this would be a dream...

Absolutely agree. The frustration with how much time is wasted is certainly universal.

I would kill for a command line EHR, especially if I could edit notes in vim!

OMG I am in love with the thought of API and CLI based CPOE/documentation.

A lot of Epic, at least on the technical side, is still accessible via the command line. I wonder if patient charts can be.
