RE: small practice management programs

[Koray Atalag]

Hi all,   I can also recommend strongly the openSDE project from Erasmus University Medical Informatics group. It is by far the best structured data entry tool for clinical medicine and is distributed with the GNU Lesser Public license so that it can be integrated with propriety systems (In fact in the Netherlands there are some ongoing projects with the industry)   It is again at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/project/opensde   Another good place to check recent open source health/medical apps is to search in sourceforge.net site...It is quite a dynamic and very rich resource indeed.   One last comment – well kind of seld advertising but I have just published late last nite the true multilingual version of my Anatomic Pathology System, PATHOS-WEB. This project started in 1995 when I was still a med student and grew to an extent that now it is being used in 20+ big centers in Turkey with total record numbers exceeding 1.5 million! Since March 2005 it is Open Source with GPL. It is mostly used in group practice for pathologists and cytologists.   PATHOS-WEB URL: http://sourceforge.net/project/pathos-web   I am currently doing research to use openEHR archetypes and templates for modeling of concepts and creating dynamic GUIs as part of my Ph.D. work.   Cheers,   Dr. Koray Atalağ
