Hello everyone,
I entered the above mentioned site and I took the demo (flash-based0 tour
of the Patient-OS. From what I saw, it is referring to human patients (and
not to animals) and it apparently gives some particular importance to the
needs of chronic patients (i.e. which is to say, people that need to be
seen repeatedly, for years, for the same underlying problem).
I also discovered recently another Web page
http://oscarcanada.org/about-oscar which demonstrates another Open Source
EMR software, coming from Canada. It seems that it is "loaded" with many
prizes so far. Does anyone know anything about this?
I don't know PatientOS but I have done some research on Oscar.
It is in use in Canada and some other countries. It is developed and targeted
at one or two provinces of Canada. It is actively developed as far as I know.
The code is a mix of various languages, databases and other projects. It seems
to be done in a works now approach. It it webbased (tomcat war file).
Featurewise it seems to offer what a Canadian doctor needs. I am not sure the
interface is available in different languages but I could be wrong on this.
It has not made into Debian yet as it is not easily packaged. However it is
worth packaging as it is one of the few EMR that is there, now.
There seems to be a vmware image availalble to download and try.
