Debian Med packages for practice management

This metapackage contains dependencies for a collection of software which might be helpful for practitioners to manage their practice.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Med Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Med which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Med mailing list

Toto je "GNUmed Electronic Medical Record". Jeho cílem je umožnit doktorům sledovat jejich lékařské záznamy o zdraví svých pacientů. V současné době neobsahuje ještě všechny vlastnosti. Obsažené možnosti jsou však testovány, používány a můžeme je označit za stabilní. Tento balíček ještě NEOBSAHUJE vlastnosti pro správu účtů a kapitálu.

Zatímco se tým GNUmed zaměřil na co největší užitečnost obsažených lékařských záznamů, doporučuje se pravidelně provádět zálohy lékařských dat. Také byste měli čas od času otestovat i platnost vašich záloh a obnovu těchto dat!

Chraňte svá data! GNUmed sám nijak za tato data nezodpovídá. Byli jste varováni.

Tento balíček obsahuje klienta wxpython.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: gnumed-doc

This is the GNUmed Electronic Medical Record. Its purpose is to enable doctors to keep a medically sound record on their patients' health. Currently it is not fully featured. The features provided are, however, tested, in use, and considered stable. This package does NOT yet provide functionality for billing and stock keeping.

While the GNUmed team has taken the utmost care to make sure the medical records are safe at all times you still need to make sure you are taking appropriate steps to backup the medical data to a safe place at appropriate intervals. Do test your backup and disaster recovery procedures, too !

Protect your data! GNUmed itself comes without any warranty whatsoever. You have been warned.

This package contains the PostgreSQL server part.

Note: The package does currently NOT build the GNUmed database but just installs the needed SQL files. Please see README.Debian.

Medical Bill formating module
License: GPL
Debian package not available

FreeB is Medical Bill formating module. It is designed to be used with any EHR system that tracks basic demographics, procedure codes and diagnosis codes. An EHR sends the basic billing data to FreeB using a simple XML-based interface (XML-RPC or SOAP as needed). FreeB then handles the bill formating and bill revision. FreeB has standard templates for X12 837, HFCA 1500 (now the NPI modified CMS-1500) and UB-92 series formats. FreeB is designed so that it can send bills to a printer, to a payers web interface, or to a clearinghouse. FreeB also performs bill revision, as you modify the claim data in order to meet the payor requirements, FreeB keeps track of those changes over time so that you can easily see the progression of the claim over time. The current version of FreeB is written in PHP and uses the Smarty template language for bill templates. FreeB has a web interface that allows users to modify any aspect of a claim, and send groups of claims in different directions.

FreeB 1.0 (Perl) is still used by the OpenEMR project. FreeB 1.0 was rewritten as REMITT which used by the FreeMED project.
