Which EMR System? (Part Four)

ClearHealth, a package produced by Uversa, Inc. was our third software package to review. Although they have the best User Interface available, the software is poorly documented from a developer perspective. The forums, while available, are mostly user-centric, and I gather that it's almost impossible to actually make changes to the source code. [This implies to us that the source code is released as Open Source as more of a marketing ploy, than any desire to actually benefit from Open Source development methodologies.]

This product uses a FreeB version 2 (rewritten in PHP), as well as PHP4 and MySQL 4. We were unsuccessful in getting RC2 to work, but RC3 does work (with a few bugs). Commercial support is $688 per incident, or $4,400 per year. A complete customized installation appears to be around $30,000.
