Hi @ivan.radisson
I completely agree with @kkappiah – OpenEMR can do most of what you need with no modification, and meet all your needs with a little customization.
Your Stage 1 requirements are provided by the ‘New Patient’ and 'Calendar forms
Onboarding new patients

scheduling appointments

Your ‘Stage 2 - Surgeon Profile’ can be handled in different ways, depending on your needs.
If you need to track the use of treatment and diagnosis codes for reports and utilization review, the Fee Sheet can provide that. If you need to track treatment issues and which encounters pertain to which treatment issues, that is a different set of workflows. But it is part of how OpenEMR is designed, so comes without customization.
Customization of the forms can be done in several ways, ranging from what is called ‘Layout Based Forms’ to custom php coding of forms that are completely integrated into the EMR codebase. One would need to look at your requirements to determine which sort of work would be needed.
Stage 3 - as mentioned the Recall Board is designed to do precisely what you need, and, again, it is already part of OpenEMR.
The OpenEMR wiki has a lot of information about the system.

Documentation for OpenEMR v6 is coming slowly but instructions for version 4.x and 5.x are still quite usable. The on-screen controls are the same even if some themes or design factors have been updated.
And always feel free to come back to this forum and post questions as you think of more of them. The community is very helpful whether you want to hire a vendor for support, or build and run your OpenEMR yourself.
