Linux in the Home Care Industry?

Jason Lindsay writes: ‘…

I am the entire IT department of a medium-sized home nursing care facility in South-central Pennsylvania. We currently use Delta Health Systems to provide our clinical software. We have had what I would call a less-than-stellar experience with said company, especially relating to PPS [medicare’s Prospective Payment System] , and I’m getting close to fed up. As a self-styled linux afficionado, I am very interested in the possibilities of open-source software in the health care (or, more specifically, home care) industry. Are there any packages available that will provide a complete, end-to-end solution for home care, including PPS? If so, I’d like to hear about them.’ How about it LinuxMedNews Readers?
