Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

    Gonna take a look at that one. Data migration from a 10+ years program would definitely be the second biggest pain, number one would be training staff to use it, but i do think it’d be worth it

      Main problem with it is lack of certification, which prevents it’s use ironically in Germany, the country of origin. I would have loved to use it. If you live in a less–regulated health system, I wish you success!

      Data migration will be a huge problem – medical management system companies tend to lock their customers into their system by preventing data migration.

      I just didn’t bother with migration. I used an autohotkey script to print all patient charts of the old system into pdf files – unconvenient but failsave – and built the new data base from scratch.

        In my case, it’d be an actual epic job, since I work for govt and we use an old version of TrakCare, which has been the source of a number of headaches for at least 7 years now

        I’m curious, which certifications does it lack such that Germany can’t use GNUMed?
