Michael Tiemann, an alert fellow (CTO at Red Hat), sent me this link telling of a Malaysian effort to create an open source EMR.
It begins, "The Primary Care Doctors Organisation Malaysia (PCDOM) has chosen Open Source software for its PrimaCare Network Services (PNS) project. Founded in 1996, PCDOM is the national organisation of general practitioners. PNS is a healthcare system that comprises a patient and clinical management and support system, and an online electronic healthcare community that would contain information accessible and pertinent to doctors, patients, their families, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies." http://star-techcentral.com/tech/story.asp?file=/2002/4/26/technology/26clinic&sec=technology
