Good Initiative but how about bringing basic medicines to developing countries... Getting medical records in rural regions in developing countries is like bringing a knife to a gun fight - you've got much bigger problems than figuring out the medical history of a patient..

The problem with openMRS is that it needs a windows component to render the forms for the client, which means Windows licenses and full windows based clients instead of web terminals.

So what you save on the software gets spent on the hardware and maintenance.

I looked at it for Cambodia but do not want to be tied to Windows clients. Pretty much every developing country in the world has official policies about using open source and not getting tied into vendors but unfortunately no one in the West looks at them or takes their policies seriously.

The UNDP, for example, helps write these policies, but is continually advertising for MSCE admins.

Health care, everyone’s talking about it. But is anyone doing anything about it? The first step to heath care is your medical history and your medical records. Where are your medical records? What’s your medical history? Well now the first step to your heath care is now being taking care of with the MedeFile Card. My name is Alex Papas the creator and the developer of the prepaid phone card in the United States. I have just created a new medical breakthrough called The MedeFile Card. The MedeFile Card is a centralized, confidential electronic portfolio that gives you 24/7 access to your medical history So no more wasting time and filling out paperwork every time you go to see the doctor or go to the hospital. Imagine that you or your parent or child has suddenly become ill. They are in a place where no one knows them, their blood type, what medications they are on, or what allergies they have. Quick decisions could mean the difference between life and death. Each year the lack of accurate medical information or the wrong information takes a terrible toll. With MedeFile you can be better prepared with vital information should such an emergency arise. Your Medical records are going Green. I’m donating $100 million dollars in Medefile Cards to companies all over the world to give to there employees and there families. So No more talking about what we are doing about heath care we are doing something about it now! For more info go to www.medefilecard.com or call Alex Papas at 954 729 8888

I am in the process of developing a 'simple' patient medical record fsystem for traditional herbalists in rural Kenya. While many of the herbalists are only semi-literate there are an increasing number of young herbalists who are computer literate. The intent of the project is to bring the herbalists and Ministry of Health together; document patients treated, common aliments. successful treatments and how government may assist in improving quality, safety and efficiency of health delivery at the poor and vulnerable level.

The record must be simple and easy to maintain, but lend itself to expansion as the herbalists become more efficient at maintaining records.

Any information would be gratefully acknowledged.

Sincerely, John Lambert (Ph. D.)
