To the list:
 
I spoke today with the medical director of the anesthesia pre-operative clinic. Although in the future we will have a pre-op system fully integrated with an enterprise wide EHR, the director has immediate need for an interim system to record a full H&P with some check-lists for general anesthesia. I spoke to him about an open source solution and he was interested in adapting an existing Open Source EHR for this purpose. He would be willing to make this investment even if it was completely stand alone, although interfacing with our Siemens Invision Lifetime Clinical Record would also be desirable as a secondary end point.
 
If list members could send me contact info (email, phone) off-list and a couple sentences about your experience and a couple sentences about your proposal, I will forward them to him to contact you. This is very early and you would need to work with him to develop specifications.
 
Also - thanks to all who responded to the request concerning our RHIO. I will be collecting information and discussing with our consultant.
