NG> True? I don't know all solutions that are on the market. I think as far as my knowledge, we need only some memory board for fast notice. A PDA IMHO will be enough. Doctors (maybe nurses) use to have a little paper with all their patients. Short summary will be ok. Some notice, whats not inside the patients data sheet. Things like a little todo list. Or some notice about their treatment plan. If the consultant asks about medication or blood results a fast access. This have to be very flexible. Show the actuall problems list or things like this. I think typing like at pc keyboard takes to much time. So i think realy its some nice feature. But not absolute necessary. Some idea: Make it possible to extract a list of all patients that you are responsible (This list is maybe not the same as the ward list). Make it possible inside the care2x - eg you got the result from pathology. Let the Doctor mark inside care2x only one important sentence from the result. Klick and this Sentence is going to the PDA. Technique: RSS! I provide since 1 year this technique but i think noone of the programmers like to share or discuss my ideas. http://care2x.de/Medical.416.0.html Click an article box there. Use the megaphone and you are able to extract the xml to a weblog. http://care2x.de/News.432.0.html Click the links at this page :-) The same. Next solution is comming from Medical University of South Carolina. The integration of a workflow engine running xml rss with worldwide industrial standards. Connecting to made with jabber and needs a jabber server. This application will be able to run together with Open Office because of XML use. Compatible also with HXP as transmitter.

GPL? http://mycare2x.de/produkt/mycare2x_Info_Befundschreibung.pdf I am shure that care2x needs first an open source business concept. otherwise the idea will loose. Is there any developer outside that like to make a textblocksystem and a doctors letter system using xml and do a combination together with Open Office? -- Mit freundlichen Gr�ssen Wilfried Goedert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
