Re: [fedora-medical] Metaproject: Debian Med tasks
by Sebastian Hilbert
Hi all,
1.) software reagarding medical/scientific tasks are spread all over the web.
Effort has been undertaken to aggerate those in one place. Personally I have
lost track. There are projects at freshmeat, sourceforge, savannah, debian-med
and whatnot.
I personally feel it is up to the project maintainers to make their work
public. Sure it would help if there was this one place where all software
could come together but this is the missing link so far
2.) I did not find GNUmed listed at Debian-med any more. Did I just overlook
it or miss something ?
3.) There seems to be an unofficial Debian package of openemr you might want
to take a look at
http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR_Downloads
Summary: Visibility of the great software and packaging effort of FOSS
software is far from ideal. This severly hinders your chances to get picked up
by users.
Everyone and their uncle has an app store today. All but FOSS software. Which
is a shame. I mean first we create an kick ass alternative software. Then we
either do not package it at all and require users to have Jedi powers to get
it running or we package it in far too many formats and distributions so that
a single prospective user does not have the slightest chance to get it
installed. Why the hell do I need deb (Debian/Ubuntu etc.) rpm (individual rpm
indeed for openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva etc.) ebuild and whatnot ?
Come on I am a software developer. Currently I spend more time packaging
software then developing. This got to change. I know this is good for a flame
war. Please don't. Let us find ways or maybe an infrastructure where packagers
from various distributions can collaborate.
Tell you what. The minute the Linux/FOSS community decides on one package
format we will see adoption rate go up. Distributions could concentrate on
innovation rather then packaging and software developers would be relieved of
the packaging job and hunting around for the right place to send the software.

In general practice what are the tasks that need software?
by Simon Slater
Sorry to start a new thread on this, but have only subscribed to the
mailing list today.
As a veterinary practice manager in Australia, we have no legal
guidelines as to how we invoice clients, other than those given by the
Taxation Office regarding GST (VAT), which is similar to the UK and New
Zealand. Printing of drug labels do have a guideline to follow, which
is fairly common ( 2 colour warning etc).
At the moment we just use a comprehensive accounting package, Sage Line
50, (don't worry, this is the last windoze software we are using) and am
about to get it running under WINE. However we need to move towards
practice management software to fulfil other roles. The practice is a
rural mixed practice, the emphasis skewed towards small animals since
the drought started, but should return to 50/50 in a few years.
So to outline what we have and would like:
Have:
- sales orders -> client invoicing; goods delivered tracking (good for
dairy clients); automatic calculation of account charges
- purchase orders; inventory; stocktake; bills of materials (good for
tracking all the little things that go into services commonly invoiced,
down to cotton wool balls, chlorhexidine, needles & syringes for
vaccinations); supplier payments
- customer receipts -> bank deposit slips -> bank reconciliation
- limited ability to store patient histories and so produce reminders.
Would like:
- appointment making
- tracking patients from waiting room -> consult -> cage -> surgery
room -> cage -> discharge
- reminders for vets or nurses to do follow up calls
- mail merge reminders for vaccinations etc (currently OOo)
- ability to track stock in different physical locations (penicillin in
surgery room, consult room, car of vet #1 etc)
- electronic storage of images linked to clients (photos, X-ray etc)
- electronic filing in general
- ability to integrate branch practices
- lab reference ranges per species and diagnosis ( IDEXX labs have
windoze management software that integrates patient records with their
main labs and in-clinic benchtop analysis units)
These are the main items for now. Over the last few years we have been
slowly computerising all the paper based records and are ready to keep
moving forward now this has been done. I hope this helps.
