Re: Outing Patient OS
by Benson Stover on Sunday February 17, @01:03AM
Writing good EMR software is hard. There are extremely profitable companies out there that suck really bad at it. In my honest opinion there isn't an Apache of the open healthcare world. In reality most of the open-source EMR's out there suck just as bad if not worse. Your software doesn't even need to be more innovative, just well executed to be well received. The spirit of open-source is about freedom. Freedom to customize, freedom to extend, and freedom to _duplicate_. In the GPL religion the only sin is to take what was given to you and profit from it without paying the tithe of your source code. Something else to keep in mind: Often times opinionated fools talk the loudest.
