Hello!

I’m still evaluating OpenEMR (with GNUmed) and wonder if it is possible to export Calendar-data (Appointments) in order to be used with some other application?

In my case, I use Emacs and org-mode as my GTD system and would like to have all OpenEMR appointments in Emacs’ \*.org files.

Sincerely,  
Gour

Does Emacs support the iCal or vCal standard?

I’ve considered creating some export/import functionality within the Calendar of OpenEMR. I would stick with the iCal or vCal standard. It seems to be the most widely standardized format out there.

Yes, Emacs’ org-mode support export to iCal.

Right. Those formats are good-enough.

hey,  
Check out this page for database stuff in openemr:  
[http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR\_System\_Architecture#Database](http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR_System_Architecture#Database)  
(search for table openemr\_postcalendar\_events on this page, which holds the appt data, also note other openemr\_\* postnuke calendar tables nearby)

Thanks Brady. long time. Happy New Year…though belated…Yes I did look at the system architecture. I don’t find the openemr\_postnuke calender table at the root. I have only the following tables….  
#  
# Browse openemr\_postcalendar\_categories  
# Browse openemr\_postcalendar\_events  
# Browse openemr\_postcalendar\_limits  
# Browse openemr\_postcalendar\_topics

I added a sample appointment after logging in to see where the dat goes……I don’t find the same on openemr\_postcalendar\_events. Am I missing something here?

Did you manage to sync the calendar data?&nbsp; If would you like to share how you did it?
