Anyone running Fedora at their medical practice? What medical management software is available?

Thanks. I had found this site and was surfing around too see what the possibilities are for this...gonna take some time to sift through it all. Do you by any chance have any advice to offer here? What you 've found that works well or what doesn't? Recommendations for particular applications? I am not a doctor and I don't play one on TV either but I do work with a medical practice from time to time. Some of their apps eat RAM for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Real hogs. Really bog down the machines. I have been kicking around the idea of asking them to try an open source solution but first I have to have one ready. So I am thinking of putting a box together with Fedora and some good medical management software for them to try. I know at least two of their programs (neither of which cause any problems) are just a client at their end connecting to a UNIX server, Medical Manager is one and the name of the other escapes me right now. The big offender is apparently a program called , Centricity , which according to their tech support needs 1GB of RAM above the OS's needs to run well because of its slick little interface. I just want functionality, glitter is nice but it don't count for much in my book if the user is constantly dealing with a frozen application. All advice, opinions, etc are welcome.

Thanks,

Max
o
Max,

I could not help but tell you my story.  I try to hide the fact that I
am a physician... it tends to close doors on these lists.

what does your being a doctor matter to the people who read this list?

 >However, I
have used Fedora systems as desktop units to communicate to Unix box
that has S.M.I.L.E. (Software for Medical Applications It makes my Life
Easy).  I originally hired a company to create a system of my design,
and they filled for bankruptcy about half way through the project.  I
had run out of money to hire anyone else so I collected every manual I
could find made friends with a few of the programmers, and ended up
finishing the project myself. That was 20 years ago.
Although S.M.I.L.E. was written with a 'unibasic' license by Dynamic
Concepts everything else I have plugged into it is opensource.  I have
had many ask me to make S.M.I.L.E. available for other office practices,
but to date have not had the time to explore this potential.  S.M.I.L.E.
is not opensource because of the unibasic license, but everything I have
plugged into S.M.I.L.E. is opensource and I am indebted to this list and
others for their assistance.
What have you plugged in? What have you found useful?


My system uses a terminal interface instead of a gui.  This has turned
out to be a much better way to tie three offices together via the
internet.  My system uses a very small bandwidth which means I can
manage remote offices with a centralized server very easily by using
konsole and ssh.
This sounds very much like what I am looking to do. If you care to let me in on what you've got going there I'm all ears or eyes I suppose would be more accurate.

Good Luck with your search... I'll be watching the thread!!!

Thanks!

Max
