There have been 22 downloads of 0.5.0b from SourceForge and at least three or four from FreePM.org. The patch was issued to fix a problem with copying prescriptions. Otherwise this is a beta version of the patient registration and prescription modules. This includes the employee (user) creation and the formulary due to the dependencies. There are four documents that are key to using these functions: Getting Started Configuration Patient Registration Patient Medications They are available on the SourceForge site. If anyone needs them downloaded and emailed to them then please contact myself or one of the project admins listed on the site. Remember, that if you do not want to download and install all of the required software. You can use the online "demo" at http://www.freepm.org. It really isn't a demo in the true sense. You can't add employees that can actually login but otherwise you have the same privileges as if you were a physician logging in to an installed system. You can add drugs to the formulary and add patients and prescriptions. Please feel free to try it out. Then let us know here your experience. There has been one reported problem installing Zope/other products/FreePM. No resolution has been gained there yet as far as I know. I did send a message to the list with some pointers to installing Zope on various platforms. The beta version of the upcoming O'Reilly Zope Book is available at zope.org. It looks pretty good. Some of the best Zope documentation to date. Dr. Chason Hayes has been doing some documentation for us and is also going to be adding some javascript in key places to make validations smoother. He has also been doing some work on the user interface in various places. I especially want to say thanks for the very boring job that he did for me cleaning up some code that was left over from when I first started using Zope for FreePM. I have been speaking to Dr. Andrew Ho about integration of OIO into FreePM or at least supporting the same XML formats for sharing forms. More news about this after meeting with him at AMIA. Dr. Alex Caldwell continues to provide us with valuable input about XML experiences and we are working to maintain compatibility between FreePM & TkFP in the formulary and prescription modules. I expect that we will be pursuing the same compatibility in progress notes. Here we have a crossing with OIO as well due to the forms generation. Ron Chichester is working on the default formulary using the National Drug Code Directory. After that he will be giving the Scheduling module a much needed facelift. As it is now, it works for employee and resource scheduling. The terminology is geared as an event manager vs. a real scheduling module. The patient appt. schedule will be dynamically generated from the combined physicians personal schedules. Alexander Chelnokov is working on a new set of ICD codes. The one I currently have in place for testing only has a brief text field. Since they use ICD-10 in the Federation of Russia I assume he will be working primarily with that version. I'm not certain if he is also producing an ICD-9 set. I have been reorganizing my notes into something I can call project management since the tempo is picking up. If there is something that you want to work on let me know. If you want to do 'something' but aren't really picky let me know that too (I have a long TODO list <g>). There are several others that have contributed ideas and helped in other ways like the folks at LinuxMedNews for mentioning us every now and then. And Dr. Dan Johnson for sharing his observations, experiences and time spent testing. I'll be at AMIA next week and will try to check the email a couple of times a day in case there are questions or problems with the site.
