Consolidation Proposal: ClearHealth, FreeMED and OpenEMR (LinuxMedNews)

[Posted June 14, 2005 by ris]

LinuxMedNews covers a proposal for consolidation and collaboration between several free software projects for the health care industry. "Why should there be a consolidation? To avoid duplication of effort. Because we are all developing very similar EMR systems using the same fundamental technologies. Each of the three projects is separately generating incompatible code to meet exactly the same requirements. If the three projects combined their efforts we would have a better EMR and Medical Practice Management System in far less time than we might working apart."
