Hi all,
My modest opinion on this is that Care2x should have a plugin that
would allow external access to data to the
billing applications, some sort of SOAP or even based on XHP server that is
already there.
Making modules for external ERP packages to talk to Care2x would be a better
idea and would require a small branch to coordinate that.
Many entities have their own billing application and fiscal
and taxation policies are too diferent from
country to country that you don't have a real FOSS application that
can do it all without a lot
of tweakning. There are already several F/OSS ERP/CRM packages (
http://www.principiolegal.com/software/erpcrm.php) and each entity should be
able to choose it freely.
Also, billling staff in most hospitals are not even related with operating
staff so they don't even need to
deal with this. They just need to have acess to costumers, exams,
medicines and other medical events and
prices don't need or even should be inside Care2x (although it could have
eventually access with plugins).
Tightly integrating an ERP with Care2x will bloat it more and will force
many to hardcode it out.
In Portugal all national state hospitals and public institutions must use a
special kind of fiscal policy that is diferent from private sector and even
diferent from local autorities; so two hospitals (one private and one
public) will have huge problems with a tightly integrated ERP.
SimpleInvoice is neat but completely useless in our fiscal environment here.
Just my opinion.
Best,
Lopo
