Free Software has been making inroads into many markets recently,
particularly those where security and data integrity are of importance.
This is certainly so in medicine, where another problem is the mess of
different proprietorial software used across different departments --
each tied to its own OS and its own data format.
Care2002 provides a modular replacement for all these apps, using a
single database and single data format (currently SQL). Everything runs
on the server, clients access the modules through their web browser.
Care2002 has many built-in automation, data validation, signalling, and
updating features, which substantially reduces the occurence of
erroneous data and removes the burden of counterchecking data manually.
FreeMED is another web-based app, for physicians and healthcare
providers in any setting, from small practices to large hospitals. It
provdes a comprehensive electronic medical record and billing system
that gives the physician control and immediate accessibility to data.
Meditux is a Medical Information System. Its primary task is to provide
timely medical information to both medical and non-medical staff that
operated in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) environment. This release makes
available most of the functionality of the current operating system that
Dr Richard Piper conducts within his ICU. Some functionality has been
withdrawn due to legal constraints (e.g. copyright and licensing
requirements). However, Meditux still makes available 90% of its
original functionality to you. Meditux-1.0 is released under the
GNU/GPL. Meditux is a collection of Java Servlets, running under Apache
Jakarta-Tomcat, Java SDK 1.3 and MySQL.
Open Infrastructure for Outcomes (OIO) system facilitates the creation
of flexible and portable patient/research records. The major component
of the OIO system are the web-accessible OIOI Server and OIO library.
OIO Server is a highly flexible web-based data management system that
manages users, patients, and information about patients. (Of course, the
same system can just as easily manage information about customers,
invoices, shipments, and accounts.)
