Re: Consolidation Proposal: ClearHealth, FreeMED and OpenEMR
by P'kale Robinson on Tuesday June 14, @09:46PM

I'm currently the Director of I.I. for a hospital in Atlanta. I have been asked many times by doctors to assist them in setting up their private practices. I see a lot of money-making potential.

About ten years ago, I received first I.T. job as a field engineer for a company named Peachtree Associates located in downtown Decatur, Georgia.

There I was exposed to Medical Manager. I repaired dead SCO UNIX servers, and installed Medical Manager. I often thought would Medical Manager run on the current version of Red Had?(version 5.1 at the time). It was just a big headache getting Digi serial boards to "play right" with the other hardware. I used to say, "There has to be a better way".

I have had the privilege of installing FreeMED and OpenEMR. Also, I have also opened dialog with Alex Chigos of X-Med regarding setting up a demo box with his solution.

I think they ALL have a lot of potential. I just haven't made my mind up regarding which solution is best for my business venture.

My biggest issue is technical support and training. I really don't wanna get pinned down with support questions to the point that I have to hire an FTE.

By nature,, I'm just a geek. I figured a lot of FreeMED issues on my own, because of the lack of documentation.

I'm very interested in how this wil all play out. I have even entertained the thought of engineering my own, or re-engineering an existing solution.
