Dear Greg, Interesting to note your efforts in bringing quality Health Care IT to US. There are few efforts in this direction. I happen to be the promoter of few health care software projects in India since 2003. Must confess that I was never into the health care sector earlier but the urge to make things better in developing world got me into the (ad)venture! Here are a few links that could be further leveraged if further enhanced and offered. http://in.zudha.com The projects are hosted at SourceForge.net since 2005. Saukhyalite is an Open Source web based system for nursing homes developed using LAMP. This was implemented in a hospital in Bangalore connected to Seventh Day Adventist Network. http://sourceforge.net/projects/saukhyalite Dear Dr. is a Patient Records Manager easy to install on physician laptops/PCs. Developed with Java Swing and has embedded Derby database. http://sourceforge.net/projects/deardr Medistore is useful for Pharmacies to manage medicine stock etc. Easy to install, developed in Java Swings and embedded Derby Database. http://sourceforge.net/projects/medistore Lab Rep is a laboratory reporting tool helpful for clinical labs to store data. http://sourceforge.net/projects/labrep We had also developed an online SaaS based HIS available at http://www.healthandme.com:9870/SaukhyaPro/ and a Personal Health Record Manager hosted in early 2006 at http://www.healthandme.com:9870/MyRecords/ similar to what Google Health is now preparing. PS: These are not in the Open Source domain. Unfortunately, we could not continue the development cycle at Zudha due to a business glitch in early 2006 and also there was no community participation from my region to take it forward. At times, it is not so comfortable to be on the other side of the globe :-) If you feel appropriate we can collaborate and make things happen in the coming years not only for the USA but also for all the Peoples. Wishing you the best.
