For those healthcare providers not on the TORCH list I wanted to pointTim, Fred, and anyone else who is building a EMR/EHR etc.
out this effort by Dr. Maynard.
If this effort is successful I will develop a method to export these records into a file that can be used by other projects that need this kind of data.
I would be willing to help with creating these records. I installed FreeMed this weekend and noted some difficulties with running it.
I have at least one provider I would like to show the system to but I agree there needs to be a set of test data to work with.
Also has anyone come up with good test scripts for these EMRs. A set of consistent data points to test a ssytem might prove useful, especialy when comparing systems.
Tim, I am going to give TORCH a try soon.
Fred, whats the best way to let you know about problems I encountered with FreeMed?
