medavis for example. I know CGM from medico...their KIS is a nightmare. We have to communicate with it in hospitals. What an ugly monster and somehow no hospital IT is able to admin it properly.

Wow, didn't expect to see medavis mentioned here on HN. I'm currently writing Data Warehouse software (and more) interfacing with their RIS. However, I don't really know what their testing practices are. Which of their products are you considering?

Right now we switched back from DoctoLib to booking4med but we're using all kinds of RIS modules here.

What Data Warehouse software do you write for RIS? Maybe I can use it :D

...and yeah Radiology communities are rare. I'm still looking for one...if I have time.

FYI, you can use firefox for viewing,signing, and adding text to PDFs. You can also use it to remove password (just do print to PDF after unlocking it).

> you can use firefox for viewing,signing I got all excited - then realised "signing" just means inserting a picture. Notably absent are open source tools for digitally signing and verifying PDF's. Apparently pdftk does it in a paid version. It's funny in a way - in this thread we have people wanting ways to modify a PDF. Yet to me, being any to prove it's not modified (eg, it's statement provably issued by some bank…

Okular. Okular offers digital pdf signing

Not just images. Whole PDFs as well. I do some PDF generation for work, and running the update command and instantly seeing the changes when it’s done, is great.

Yep. Pretty standard workflow when using LaTeX or something.

I got burned by Foxit when they started shipping spyware with it, so I'm hesitant now to try anything else.

Where can I learn about that?

Interesting! From where I'm sitting DoctoLib seems to win over the market.

The DWH software writes snapshots of db_direct into a temporal DB (implemented in Postgres using multiranges) and then uses dbt to transform the data into usable tables. Right now, I use Power BI for visualisation and reporting.

Yes they are since Corona unfortunately.

However it's good for usual Doctors offices. It's terrible for Radiology Planning. Also many institutions just put a link to their homepage or phone number in there. This way they're on DL but don't have to deal with the calendar.
