Re: Outing Patient OS
by Alan Miller on Sunday December 02, @03:48PM

I'm going to note here what I noted on your original post: your whole posting could apply just as easily if not more so to ClearHealth/MirrorMed/Resolution. How many Fredux forks of those codebases are going to crop up? I was a little surprised when you started talking about Tolven and PatientOS, because the issue of forking codebases is something I’ve been looking at in the past week or so and I thought you might be talking about the ClearHealth codebase. I’m part of a small IT shop serving medical practices, and it strikes me that the same criticism that you apply to PatientOS could easily be applied to ClearHealth/MirrorMed. The availability of code is nice, but the message that I’ve gotten from reading what’s available is “if you’re a practice, please use our software; if you’re supporting practices feel free to fork our codebase and slap your own name on it.” Sharing code is fine, but over time that strikes me as a recipe to grow lots of slightly-different versions unless someone (with more available time and hopefully more PHP experience than I have) decides to fork the base and open it up wider for development by people outside the current 2-3 companies doing the bulk of the work. So my question is what direction is PatientOS going to move in?
