[Gnumed-devel] Interest in GNUmed

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi,

During the last 3 days I have received four inquiries about GNUmed. First 
person wanted to replace a German EMR and billing application. He is a network 
enginieer and his wife is the doctor. Second person is a Swiss national and 
wanted to know how to use GNUmed in Debian. Third person was a urologist 
(group of five) from the US who wanted to know how to implement GNUmed for 
history taking, physical examination and billing.

All of them were set up with links to the Wiki as source of information, a 
link to the Live CD as means to try it out as well as an invitation to ask 
more questions. The last one was provided the Press kit done by Rogerio.

All of them replied but it becomes clear that without billing GNUmed will not 
be implemented.

Looks like EMR software is all about billing :-) While all of them fully 
understood that a FOSS project cannot implement and maintain billing it 
becomes apparent that the adoption rate will remain low until someone starts a 
business around GNUmed.
