Terrific idea
I reckon the cost of M$ and related infrastructure gives someone an opportunity. (At least some of) The gap is available as revenue. I would get involved myself if I had the time and expertise and didnt have to keep on the treadmill for school fees/wife spending etc. Gnumed looks like a possibility, but still lacks a credible front desk/financial package/prescribing module, all of which are really mandatory for an Australian system

What if:


-There were products available (clinical, accounting, messaging) that ran on linux. -There were clinical products available that ran on open source database
-These were available, packaged with easy distros, such as mepis.
-the cost savings of the OS/office/database/antivirus was calculated to completely offset the it support and medical practice system costs.

could a market "appear" ?
