Announcement of an interim release candidate in the 0.9 series

FreeMED Software Foundation announces the release of the first of the 0.9.x series of its programs. Version 0.9 follows the opensource odd/even naming scheme and as such it is a development version. We expect a production version to follow with 1.0. The 0.9 series is a dramatic change with complete separation of API and
UI functions .

The Board of Trustees met this past weekend (Nov 3, 2007) and discussed the release of 0.9.x series for FreeMED. We are not ready yet. You in the community can speed this process by volunteering to help.

• We need a CSS coder who can help make 0.9.x IE friendly and help with some design.

Greetings:

I've written to some of you. Why are we asking for help with FreeMED?

FreeMED is entirely community developed. We need programming help in three distinct areas. As many of you know we're moving to a 0.9.x version. Those of you who assist with the programming team with have early access to 0.9 and its upgrades (although remember it is a Beta version).

FreeMED version 0.8.4 and REMITT version 0.3.3 have been formally released on Tuesday, May 22, 2007. They include support for CMS's mandated NPI standard, as well as many other improvements and community contributed bugfixes and features.

Die FreeMED Tools for Firefox 0.3.1 wurden veröffentlicht. Diese Version ist kompatibel mit Mozilla Firefox bis einschließlich Versionen 2.0.x.

Diese Zusammenstellung von Erweiterungen für Firefox ermöglichen eine erweiterte Interaktion von FreeMED und Mozilla Firefox - zum Beispiel eine Benachrichtigung für neue Nachrichten und ein "Chat".

Since 1999 we at the FreeMED Software Foundation have worked very hard to provide the open source community with a stable, efficient, and easy to use electronic medical record and practice management system. The past 7 years has seen FreeMED grow and evolve with more features, fewer bugs and improved functionality. FreeMED 0.8.2 saw over 7000 downloads, more than any other edition; FreeMED has continued to get better with each and every release. However the Foundation feels that FreeMED has reached its potential for improvement on the current platform. New advancements in the IT field as well as emerging healthcare standards have forced us to rethink our approach towards the development of new systems and the way they are used in the clinical setting. We at the FreeMED Software Foundation wish to continue to remain on the forefront of the medical informatics field, for this reason we are proud to announce a partnership with Unified Medical Informatics. This partnership has not only given us new insight into the future development of FreeMED, but a visually stunning, user intuitive EMR system that simply must be seen to be believed. Our new platform will continue to support the needs and values of the open source community as well as provide professional and enterprise level modules that can easily be scaled to the needs and size of any healthcare organization.
