One area I think FLOSS particularly well-suited to is systems that cover an entire area, primary secondary and possibly patient access, for one disease area.
Diabetes looks like a good starting one. Such a system should accept inputs that would be manual by default, but by defining an open interface information could be presented to it from the output of a module built by a commercial supplier for their own GP or hospital software. Natrually what those suppliers would like would b to bring the whole area onto their own system, and in due course write systems to handle other disease groups. but this should prove acceptable to them. -- From the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/
