this project has been around for a long time. I always take a look at it when I need a reference system for thinking about data models or ux related issues for health record type projects.

looks like it got a major facelift since the last time I checked it out. that must of been a lot of work. congrats to the contributors for making that happen, looks more modern.

This is huge. I previously worked for a healthcare startup, and it seems like for every other healthcare startup we worked alongside or networked with, all roads lead to EMRs. It was (felt like) an impossibly large task without a clear path to execution due to the tangled web of healthcare IT & regulations.

Something like this is huge, especially to potential competitors that now have a target to aim for.

There is even open source dental software, open source is seriously eating the enterprise (and healthcare) software world! I run OpenDental for my wife's practice in North Beach, SF. It's licensed as AGPL, but I'll still take it :)

kind of off-topic, but I moved to the City a couple years ago and need a new dentist. is your wife accepting new clients?

I supported this for a few years as a sysadmin. The most flexible EMR application I have ever seen.
