Puppy linux EMR?? Subject description: or light weight practice management?? |
|
I have tried many Electronic Medical Records and practice management systems. All of them have one thing in common - obesity! Yes, they are all obese software. All of them have a big client-server design and virtually impossible to run in a tiny netbook.
There is a need for a tiny practice management suite for specialists/generalist doctors and even medical students to keep track of patient lists and chart notes. It doesn't need to be enterprise scale. Just a nice database that can handle notes, results and images should do just fine. Importantly, it should be fast, real fast!
I haven't come across any software filling that niche, so far (other than a few exorbitantly priced commercial software).
But, I was exploring PPLOG and its design. Looks like it has a lot of potential! If anyone is willing to design webpages that are delivered through the tiny and superfast hiawatha server - there exists the puppy EMR (or "pupmed" as we could name it!).
Any thoughts on this??

There's a list here,
http://www.goomedic.com/20-linux-open-source-emr-ehr-and-his-hospital-information-system-applications.html
or try http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=86481
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkfp/files/
Puppy or grafpup versions should work OK
If you send a pm to ttuuxxx he could probably make you a 214x version with his current Classic Pup
Of course you'd need to run any Puppy linux if you want fast

Tried most of them Subject description: but... |

Thanks aitch.
I have tried most of them over the years. As I mentioned, they are all Web browser + PHP + Apache + Mysql combination - which is not that good for running on the fly!
PPLOG (the personal blogging application included with puppy 525) uses web browser + perl + hiawatha + flatfiles. This architecture is similar to big emr/ehr/pms. If this can be customized for emr, it would make a simple, lightweight and importantly, fast emr. If some developers can look at the openemr structure and make a lightweight emr with pplog architecture, I think it has potential applications.

Did you have a look at this Live CD version? - only 337mb
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkfp/files/Tkfp%20Grafpup%20Linux/
I've just notified the developer of grafpup, who's just posted a return visit, 'hello' thread
Sorry can't help with the pplog database, but I understand about the flat-file approach
tlchost may be able to help, if you pm him, as he's just posted a similar flat file db for PLUG

Need a better EMR |
|
I tried the TKFP. But, currently there is a need for simple and wireless EMR, especially in places like emergency departments. I was envsioning mobile netbooks running lightweight emr based on a simple architecture.
