Wes, This looks quite ambitious! I wondered why you combined so much functionality into a "registration" module. It seems that many of the functions are better separated out for patient interaction. Seems that registration shouldn't include actual visits, etc. Do you have a use case document which describes the actors and functions that will use this system?
I am sure that Hamish and many others would be quite interested. BTW, great project! Good luck! Andy -------------------- Andrew S. Kanter, MD MPH Asst.
