The OpenMRS group took advantage of our institution's work, added some extra details (such as the ability to pre and post-coordinate ccmplex questions and answers, richer synonymies, etc.) Best, -Paul

, I'd challenge anyone to find a more fully featured suite than Teleforms. It's relatively expensive, but we've worked really hard at compartmentalizing what we "expect" of Teleforms, such that if an open source competitor came along that provided similar functionalities, that we could easily make that switch. Once again, let a thousand flowers bloom. No reason why OpenMRS couldn't have a Teleforms module and the "super FOSS OCR" module when that becomes available. :) Best, -Paul

our experience thus far, that what's really necessary is less code interoperability and a greater focus on data interoperability. Differing sites have differing functionalities and clinical workflows. Therefore we're not too sure that inertia needs to be spent upon making sure that higher level system functions are synchronized. Who knows though, we might be making a big mistake. :) Best, -Paul
