  • emC Hosted Released

    Feb 27, 2009

    1. ELEMENTALCLINIC HOSTED: On February 15th we launched emC Hosted. For $175/month/per clinician you get a private instance of our open source practice management software set up at yourclinicname.elementalclinic.com. Included in the price is unlimited support through phone and email from a company that cares, regular software updates, and secure hosting in our data center.

    This is the future of health care application delivery and we are excited to give smaller clinics the ability to use an application that was previously only available to larger organizations with big IT budgets.

    2. ELECTRONIC CLAIMS SUBMISSION: We are happy to be working with Valia Health Resources and phTech to bring electronic claims submissions into elementalClinic. Electronic Claims Submission (ECS) allows you to spend less time with a mountain of paperwork and more time delivering care to your patients.

    Give us a call and ask how we can customize elementalClinic to work with your submission provider of choice.

    3. SCHEDULING: Dieter and Stacy have been hard at work at putting the final touches on emC's scheduling system. This has been one of our most requested features and has been in beta testing with one of our biggest clients for the past 2 years. Once scheduling is released emC will handle the entire patient life cycle from scheduling the first appointment to the payment of the final bill.

  • Patient scheduling in elementalClinic

    Jan 23, 2009

    Dieter has been spending the past few weeks getting patient scheduling up and running for elementalClinic, our open source electronic health system for mental health.

    Stacy is going through the last few bits of QA right now and everything is looking really nice.

    Here's a sneak peak:

    Our patient scheduling software allows you to quickly create an appointment. Each appointment allows you to pick a specific patient, doctor, and add any relevant notes that will smooth the intake process.

    The scheduling tab allows you to see all of the appointments that are currently in the system.

  • Installing elementalClinic in 5 minutes.

    Jan 09, 2009

    We've been hard at work this week making the installation of elementalClinic easier. It used to take a lot of Linux knowledge to get emC set up for your clinic but this week we've released it as an Ubuntu Hardy package so if you're comfortable installing applications in Linux you should be able to get it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

    Here's how you can get it running:

    GPG Key Import:
    Before using the repository the GPG key must be imported into your
    local apt GPG keyring.

    wget -q -O- http://svn.opensourcery.com/public/ubuntu/87CB6495.gpg |
    sudo apt-key add -

    Add our Ubuntu Repository:
    Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line at
    the bottom.

    deb http://svn.opensourcery.com/public/ubuntu hardy main

    Installing elementalClinic:

    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude install elementalclinic

    Follow the instructions the last command prints after install to complete the
    installation

    Hopefully this guide helped you to get elementalClinic running. Please feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.
