Re: Outing Patient OS

The problem you are describing is essentially the problem of pseudo-forking that happens whenever an EHR, proprietary, private or open source, is heavily customized within an institution. You are right, that is a problem, I hope that CCD, as a merger of the HL7/CCR efforts might in the long term provide a way to address this issue. Until then, this is a problem for everyone, and as a result, not really relevant to the PatientOS discussion.
ClearHealth can be a little difficult to get code into, but I think you will find that MirrorMed will more readily accept code and provide svn commit access for that purpose. That is one of the reasons for MirrorMed to exist.
Generally the goals of MirrorMed are to maintain code compatibility of ClearHealth. So we are not actually a "sourcecode" fork at all, rather just a method of respecting the trademark rights of ClearHealth Inc. We do our best to be a sister effort to ClearHealth.
In fact, it is exactly this kind of sister effort that I would recommend for Patient OS, with Tolven, or as Tim pointed out, with OpenMRS.
