Re: Healthcare Desktop Project Announced
by Medical Info on Monday December 22, @02:54AM
You have an admirable goal but I do want to ask why you would want to go and re-invent the wheel? It will take thousands of hours and much more money to duplicate what is already freely available. Why not spend your time and effort adapting software that already exists to your uses and share your improvements with the community? Check out: care2x.org But I would really reccomend looking at Hui OpenVistA. VistA supports over 400 health care facilities, with a network of 250,000 users processing the medical and administrative information for 1,000,000 in-patient and 20,000,000 out-patient visits each year. Hard to top that. And that is from a program that is freely available and already exists. It can be downloaded from: http://www.pacifichui.org/OpenVista/ A VistA manual is at: http://www.va.gov/vdl/ Examples of adopters are at: http://www.hardhats.org/adopters/vista_adopters.html
