Bruce, I am interested. I have done both lecture/demo presentations and half-day hands-on tutorials of the OIO system at several American Psychiatric Association Annual meetings. This could be a good opportunity to show the OIO system to other physicians. The side-by-side comparison aspect is also quite attractive. I will prepare a set of OIO forms, workflows, and schedules that resemble OSCAR's. If you let me know which proprietary system will be part of the "shootout", I will also try to reverse-engineer it using OIO. ... > The criteria for selection are: > > be able to bring, set up, explain and use a highly functional FOSS EMR yes, OIO runs on my Dell Latitude laptop (both server and Mozilla client). Also accessible from wireless webpad by Hitachi (Visionplate via Mozilla), I will bring both and a wireless access point to demo wireless data collection with OIO.

The OIO system is in many ways similar to OpenEHR. If OpenEHR people are not present, I can say something about their archetypes approach and how OIO's forms relate to it. I still wouldn't describe that as "representing" :-). Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P. Ho, M.D. OIO: Open Infrastructure for Outcomes www.TxOutcome.Org
