Re: List of Active FOSS EMR/EHR's
by Alex Caldwell M.D. on Tuesday June 15, @12:39AM

Regarding Tkfp, I would have to retort that it is proabably only natural that it's code base would reflect the learning curve of a practicing physician who is not a professional programmer, just just struggling to implement things he needs in a small daily office practice. I would like to have some of these things available to me before I retire. If I had to wait for the software engineering professionals to come up with an open source package for generating HCFA forms, I will probably be long since dead before it ever comes to fruition.

I myself would not trust the Tkfp code to control a medical device that delivers radiation to human beings or one that does stereotactic surgery, but if you practice in the U.S. and need to generate HCFA 1500 forms so you can get paid, need to remember what medicines you have a patient on, and generate office notes, you might find Tkfp interesting.

On the other hand, if you need a cuddly desktop Teddy Bear that sits on your X desktop that is very well engineered and meets all software engineering standards neccessary to be included in the Debian distrubution, you can get "XTeddy" maintained by Dr. Tilles at http://www.physik.uni-halle.de/~e2od5/debian/xteddy.html
