I think there have been some attempts to produce something
australia, either
desktop/web based, with little success that I know of, time often
being the
problem along with lack of basic team structure. Ian Hayood on the
gpcg list
could enlighten you on that.

With the 'net the job is now more of integration of webserved
applications than
building the functionality into a standalone system.

You may be interested in a project called wedgetail, with which I have
an association. It's an application that my colleagues Ian Haywood (as
above) and Tony Lembke are writing using the Rails framework.
As Richard Terry mentions, writing a complete EMR (electronic medical
record) from scratch is a daunting task these days, (it was easier ten
years ago), and so the focus of wedgetail is on the integration of
information from various health providers and and their assorted health
record systems into a web accessible repository. Its target group are
patients with chronic, complex, often end stage, medical problems, where
strict privacy is no longer an issue. It is conceivable that other
functionality might be added to it in the future to give it more EMR
like facilities. There is no intention by the current developers to add
a financial component.
HTH.
