Have you already developed something for the AIDS program in Care2x? What are the most important features you are lacking in care2x for doing the HIV/AIDS program with it?Hello,
We have also a big HIV/AIDS program and they need a program for it. We are now working on other features but with the co-operation of others we would like to use Care2x also for that program.
When we are developing Care2x we are making a single computer system for small clinics and I do not see it a problem. At the same time we are doing it to fit for bigger hospitals.
On administrative lever it is possible to hide so much unnecessary information that we hope to use the same for both.That is true. So that rules out the first Disadvantage quoted below.
I was also not planning to remove those modules/functionalitities from care2x, i was planning to disable them upon installation.

I've been thinking for weeks/months about converting Care2x into an EMR directed at clinics and medical centres doing longterm studies on HIV/AIDS patient. Last month a major report was released by Rhino.org.. [ *http://tinyurl.com/5kfaz* ] Main conclusions about Care2x to support ART
Advantages: It runs on a modern web thin client web server platform and is all open source software. It will run on any hardware platform. It is scalable and can run large enterprises. Open source will let you maintain and modify the software to meet your needs.
Disadvantages: This is a large software package with many functions that may not be necessary in smaller hospitals and may interfere with effective training and use. Although this software can be used for outpatient EMR, it is not designed for that use. The extra features have the potential to cause confusion when they are not used. This software will require modification to support ART.
The main issue is that Care2x is development to process almost all information in a large scale clinic, while for ART the most important things are 1. Only Out Patients. 2. Main users are a)Administration[check-in], b)(Social)Nurses, c)Doctors, d)Bio-statisticians
Will the Care2x PM solve these issues? What is the current status of this 'branch'? Where are we now on the timescale of http://www.care2x.org/img/timetable-pm1k.png Who are the main developers for this 'branch'?
Is any-one interested in helping me to create the ART module?
For your information: There were Some other Care2002 discussions involving the use of Care2x in AIDS -related situations [ *http://tinyurl.com/6v7l3 , **http://tinyurl.com/5atcc** ].
