Storing/Retrieving Reports

I have added this requirest the feature request section.  Here is the description of the request.

A feature to store the generated reports for a patient just like history/encounters.
The contents in square brackets are my requests.

For a patient, a physician generates a report.  [an option  to store the report as text file in that history/encounter].

When the physician clicks history link for that patient,  [a column named Report is needed] with a link to the generate report. We already have Date, History, Insurance, Billing columns.

Otherwise, a physician has to generate a comprehensive report again.

This enables me to integrate my PDA application - which generates reports - with the Open EMR.  In the next step,  the PDA can wirelessly transfer the report from PDA to EMR database without being present in front of the PC.  Similarly,  when a report is generated in Open EMR,  the report can be wirelessly synced with the PDA.

Currently,  this option is done manually.
