Ok here is the deal..
I am working with some fine folks at www.freemed.org My main function is to assist bringing freemed to the market . I dont do much code etc I have a coder who does that stuff.. I am more interested in the production side of how to bring the product to the market..
My main motive utimately is to feed my wife and kids . and my existing IT practice shifts and will slow down. So it was time for me to reinvent my IT practice..
I looked at a lot of things and figured that the healthcare industry has and will grow
I like open source as it is better for the world as whole. And it allows me to run a social enterprise where I can feed my family and with the extra profits help others feed their families..
I already do a bunch of stuff for non profits already so its not like this is new deal for me..
Knowing Dr's are pretty smart ( logic needs logic to work HEH ) and desperate for technology and less poor than the non profits in general I think it became a perfect mistress..
Then I had to look at the open source options..
Freemed was the best over all and has IMHO more capability than the others around and is more free from a code and power perspective..
Also as freemed has a backend management structure via the freemed foundation in place this will help the product mature and keep all the bits and bytes in a row rather than dogmatical ego power struggles..sigh
The main reason I did not blab to the world about freemed is I am (still) in the process of setting up a server so many docs can play in ther own little area and any bugs will be local to their install..
The installs on the freemed site have some functions disabled.
I want to have each install fully functional for each dr ..
So I / we can do controlled testing and bug hunting..
So play around on the freemed demo ay www.freemed.com and soon in a week or so I will have few demo's setup for all to play on..
enjoy
