You share my software sensibilities. I know a person who is creating a nonprofit, large, extremely important translational medicine clinic. This means that the clinic will be tightly integrated with basic and clinical research. One thing that is needed is good software. Perhaps some of you know of the open source options here. EVERYTHING is needed: scanning, billing, grepping, reports, machine learning, etc. Preferably all integrated for nontechnical but very intelligent people. Effectiveness of treatments will be fed back into research. Research will be fed back into treatments and the most promising cases will need to be found. Keeping track of scanned medical records, data about people, histories taken, results of treatments, etc. is necessary. It is a large challenge for software. I am asking on the chance that some of you knows something that can help (or, perhaps even, can help set something up). This is an open-ended question. Thanks. Samuel
