Yeah, that's a great idea if you can. I was pulling data from a medical system that I knew full well I would not be able to get changes into for YEARS (and I got to meet the vendor, who was working on a shiny new XML export system - I wonder if that has quoting issues too - it wasn't released by the time I finished working the project) So I wound up writing perl that knew enough to fix all the common problems with the source data, and emailed me any odd lines it couldn't cope with, so I could go in and update the regular expressions. It kinda sucked, but the end result was better antibiotic coverage for a bunch of people. Worst case of a line it really couldn't handle was that person didn't get the benefit of an expert system checking that they didn't have doubled-up medicines, which is no worse than they would have had without this system.
