GNUmed introduces data packs

Data packs are GNUmed's way to make available a wide variety of reference data on an as-needed, on-demand basis. By such means,

* there is no need to pre-load the GNUmed database with potentially-unwanted reference information
* downloads can be reduced in size
* easy one-step installation and updates, via GNUmed menu, which any GNUmed praxis administrator (armed with the gm-dbo password) can do

Currently-available data packs can

* install Canadian drug brands and their ingredients and populate the vaccines table
* fill in missing Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification codes for drug names which match the INN names or mapped synonyms
* modify the (upper / lower) case of drug names using the TALLman system of better-distinguishing sound-alike drugs
* hosted here: [[http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/data/][data packs]]

Have fun.

I see here you're explaining open source medical records systems. Well, since Obama appointed Judy Faulkner to the federal healthcare policy board, there's no telling if open source software will even be allowed in the U.S. - Epic Systems, which Judy Faulkner founded, may be the only one U.S. doctors are allowed to use if a monopoly happens. This article talks about a possible monopoly: http://freedomist.com/2011/10/stealing-your-medical-records-for-profit-and-political-gain-the-epic-systems-scandal/
