Here's something my mother badly needs: an alternative to meditech that is easy to program and use, but cheap enough for small hospitals to afford.
Just to put this in perspective, Meditech allows users (ie: non-technical medical personnel) to write their own "programs" for retrieving and organizing information in something called "Meditech Magic." Here's a clip:
BEERv1.1,
100^b,T("")^#,DO{b'<1 NN(b,"bottle"_IF{b=1 " ";"s "}_"of beer on the wall")^#,
N(b,"bottle"_IF{b=1 " ";"s "}_"of beer!")^#,
N("You take one down, pass it around,")^#,b-1^b,
N(b,"bottle"_IF{b=1 " ";"s "}_"of beer on the wall!")^#},
END;
- mappu 12y agoInteresting, tell us more. Do you need something that's a drop-in replacement with compatible syntax, or is it more about built-in libraries / integrations that could be solved as an extension to another language?
- MrDom 12y agoI was thinking a complete replacement of the entire platform, but thinking about it more made me realize that's not practical for anybody. For better or worse, a lot of applications are already written for this platform. A drop in "replacement" that creates a web-based UI for easy creation and retrieval of Meditech data would be very useful. It could communicate with the system and translate javascript into MMagic. Bonus points if it could translate already existing applications automatically. Time to see if Meditech has an API I can access from javascript. OT: I took a look at your projects page and I have to say I like the cut of your jib, sir.
