Hi I am looking at OpenEMR with a view to replacing a DOS database (build in 1994) used by a Doctor who caters for low income patents. I have a system analysis and design background but don’t have a lot of programming experience.
In order to adapt the system to suit South African conditions a few changes would have to be made. The changes seem to be mostly cosmetic, namely Monetary symbols and references to deferent ID numbers used for record purposes.
Changing references to $ to R
Changing the references to:
FEDERAL EIN
FACILITY NPI
UPIN
TAXONOMY
FEDERAL DRUG ID
X12 PARTNERS
To something more appropriate for South African use
I have read through the user community forum to see if there have been other users with a similar problem. I have also used Google to see if I could find if there are other users in South Africa. I have drawn a blank and was hoping that someone could give me some pointers
Regards David
