Want to get some feedback form the community about a POS capability integrated into OpenEMR. We are thinking of sponsoring such a project with our current client in mind. They are using a DOS based external POS at the cash register.
Has anyone visited this need before and would like to share your thoughts? Is there any interest in this? There is ospos as an opensource POS and would be a candidate.
Thanks,
Yudhvir

As always for a new module in OpenEMR it is a little bit confusing. OpenEMR is freeware and source code is available so changes can be made. If you understand OpenEMR sofware… developer, Medical, Inventory etc. But there are also persons that help to install and maintain OpenEMR and there might be a fee included to continue this installation support.
Reading:
Pose™ Small Business POS
www.getpose.com
Free Trial for 30 days , where is the free/hidden freeware and is this the same as Developers can make their own Software changes so this piece of Software is not Free after 30 days, but is free if you can develop your own connections etc.
There are things included in above mentioned POS Software that are missing in OpenEMR:
Employee management.
Inventory Control and reports (This might be available but POS can also have some hidden extras)
As far as I know anything like of POS-sofware is not included in OpenEMR. Employee management software is not in OpenEMR, so YES, there might indeed be a need.
NO we (speaking for me, myself) are not waiting for OpenSource Freeware that might be no freeware after 30 days trial.
Hope more OpenEMR users will give their opinion Please?

Thanks Julia, not aware of opencashier. I’ll include it in my list of candidates.

Pieter,
Nothing confusing about OpenEMR. To clarify one point for you, OpenEMR is NOT freeware.

Suggest you describe in more detail what you’re looking for.
Also note OpenEMR does have a POS feature with Fees -> Checkout.

What I see on my computer is all free as in FREE. It works as is suggested and I did not pay a dime only a lot of free time invested, to make things work as I want it to work. It is definitely not an out of the box install, but if you like to invest time and no money it even works in Curacao, with Dutch, Spanish, English Chinese translations! ALL FREE!!!
Why dare to say it is not FREE WARE?

Pimm,
It’s all about free cost vs freedom. Freeware is free cost but it is
not open source. English can be most perplexing, no? Jack

“Dom”, is not so nice in Dutch. You might even find it in OpenEMR translations…
Now what did I miss in Open Source, OpenEMR and free as in Freedom and in Free of no-costs and free as in make your own changes of the Software that’s called OpenEMR?
But indeed, you might call it, if you pay, it is not for free. But that is a personal free-“dom”.
