Implementor help needed

General User's Discussion

Hi, we have just set up a new clinic, have started the set up for VPMS, and have hit the stage that we need the help of an implementor.

We have installed the system with Linux; set up the postcodes; workflow and the work list.

The help we need (and are happy to pay for) involves the rest of the set up of templates, reminders, etc. We have started loading customers and patients, but haven't inputed our inventory as we are concerned about the template for the dispensing fees, etc.

Regards

Seeing you're just setting up, you're more likely to be creating Reminders rather than sending them so you may find my tutorial on Reminders of assistance: see http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/reminders-part-1-setup for a step-by-step guide. OpenVPMS is very configurable, so just start doing something/anything because you can alter it later: that's how I started less than a year ago.

Dispensing fees aren't patricularly tricky, i'll write up a series of screenshots for you tonight. I started using them from day one, even though I'm not yet using many of the other features of inventory control (and no-one's written a tutorial yet on the topic).

I found with OpenVPMS that, after a fair bit of faffing around, I just bit the bullet and started using it: things fall into place fairly quickly as you gain experience with the software and you cam only do so much reading before you start doing!
