I actually meant to write last week.  We put in an IP phone system about 2 years ago.  After working the bugs out, the system is fairly easy to work with.  One consideration......We tied the voicemail system into our Exchange Server.  Not sure that was the best idea.  The voicemail saves as a wav file, and adds it as an attachment to an email, and then appears in the users inbox.  You can then listen to your messages on your computer.   The database works seamlessly, but inbox's tend to get large.  BUT, once we get our size restrictions in place, AND train the users, perhaps it will not be such a big deal.  Any thoughts here are welcome.

 

We have not put phones in our country offices yet, but plan to soon.  Mexico City is our first target, but they are not keen on us shipping our telecom equipment into the city at last check.  We do have them set up currently with a permanent VPN pipe directly to our main office in NC over a DSL line.  So the hard part is over.  Again, any thoughts or knowledge about current import/export lawas are welcome.

 

I think this list is going to be helpful.  I will be picking your brains as soon as we get our heads above water over here.

 

By the way, I am Jonathan Fulcher, and I work at Ipas in North Carolina.  I have only met a couple of you in person, but look forward to communicating and sharing ideas in the future.

 

Dykki,  this week is not good anymore.  2 weeks from now?

 

Jonathan

Bill,

 

I would be very interested in looking at these projects with you.  They do look very compelling.

We are about to start evaluating these open source products. Anyone who might be interested in joining us on this project, please let me know. It looks to be very interesting.

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.)
