We develop physician practice management software, so far without electronic medical records. I have been following with interest the discussion here. We need a more basic orientation.
Does anyone know of a basic resource--a book or extended document--that would provide an overview of how practically to implement something like OpenEhr in terms of database design in a practice management system, and, for that matter explain the OpenEhr concept itself? Everything I've seen so far assumes too much prior knowledge. We operate in the United States. To what extent is OpenEhr in practical use in Europe? Hospitals only? Private practices?
