Thanks for the info, I'll look into the project. I really believe EMRs need to work better for docs and be more open. I know a few physician-programmers who've built their own web apps but EMR integration obviously sucks. If they can build on top of something open source and a small medical group can save money without losing functionality with an open source solution, that could garner enough donations / financial support to for ex hire an engineer

I am only a hobbyist programmer and am investing most of my spare time into learning new things, but if I ever get to the point where I felt I could add something to the open source community I'd definitely start with a project like this

I'm also a hobbyist programmer with a physician day job. Volunteering for OpenEMR has been and continues to be an awesome experience. If you or your colleagues are ever interested, always feel free to contact me at brady.g.miller (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions or use the forums at https://community.open-emr.org/ . Note that all of us are learning at all times, and the project welcomes all skill levels.
