There was a guy on reddit a few years ago who started a dental practice with entirely open-source software and his own EHR system. Really interesting stuff, don't think anyone's posted about it here. Can't view his reddit history but he must still be using it, last commit 1 week ago.

That’s from the founder of Clear.dental, Dr. Tej Shah:

Amazing to see this project!
I have had a brief touch with healthcare related software industry. The barrier to entry for any service provider seems very high (for very good reasons, I'm sure) I was wondering how a project like GNU Health could ever be used in such an environment.

A doctor in my little town created his own open source EMR software in FileMaker:

His practice also accepts payment in the form of barter: https://cottagemed.org/p/15/About-Our-Practice
Hm they had an AMA recently going on, so I asked them some questions if they are still using it or what not (on reddit) mentioning this HN comment.

Surprisingly it had 100 comments but no open source questions iirc so that was a bit of surprise from what I could check.
Also Offtopic or not but its sad that you can't use reddit because you are in UK but just for the sake since I want you to see the comment, I perma-linked it and uploaded it to wayback-machine/archive.org and here's the link so that you can view what I wrote
I am going to archive the whole reddit page later for you to read as well

Wait why is this not working wtf, Dentistry: page not found for archive wtf?
Edit: I archived the whole page as I said, here it is.

Hope this helps OP and maybe I will keep the archive updated for few days or give ya updates if that's something you are interested in I suppose I am not sure, just like many other things in my life.

His user page[1] doesn't work for you?

What does this mean?
It's tagged as NSFW for some reason and I can't be bothered verifying my age
just change from www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com and then it doesn't ask you to sign up.
Does this work in the UK or do they still ask you to verify?

It means you can't view people's reddit profiles in the UK.
( Yes, seriously. )
Many many profiles are tagged NSFW, its' not clear why, I can't imagine the majority of those have done so deliberately, perhaps it's automatic for anyone who's posted any NSFW posts ever. ( Which includes people doing so to be funny such as someone posting a huge loss in a sports sub as NSFW. )
Recently Reddit also made it possible to private your post and comment history, which I found a surprising number of people already do too (default for new accounts maybe?), so this is about to become a very worldwide experience anyhow :)

As I said it on the OP's comment but I will type it here as well, sorry if it counts as spam but
just change from www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com and then it doesn't ask you to sign up. (atleast this works in my country)
Does this work in the UK or do they still ask you to verify?
