[Gnumed-devel] Introducing myself and questions on billing/accounting

[Chris Travers]

Hi;

I am Chris Travers, co-founder of LedgerSMB and owner of Metatron
Technology Consulting.  I am interested in trying to contribute to
discussions of billing and accounting connections of GNU Med to other
programs.  I program proficiently in Perl and Python, as well as
various procedural languages that work in PostgreSQL.

My thinking after doing some very basic research on the subject is
that you'd really need a set of three fairly loosely tied components:
EMR (GNU Med), the financial accounting system, and the billing
gateway.   I guess what I would like to hear are:

1)  What are others in the community currently using in the areas of
billing and accounting?

2)  How are these integrated with GNU Med?

3)  What are your biggest headaches currently?  What can be done to ease them?

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
