Mailhander "gotchas"... what are future plans?
Hello,
I'm using the mailhandler module to allow healthcare professionals to add content to websites via email. Our sites use tags to organize content, so it's necessary that the e-mail submission contains the proper tags. I've played a lot with the 6.x-1.8 release of mailhandler. It works, but there are a few "gotchas". I'd like to know future plans for the module to see if these might be addressed.
Here are the "gotchas".
- If the e-mail contains HTML content, tags don't work
- there is no 'free-tagging'. The tag sent in the email must already exist.
Hodges model - future global health project for Drupal
Hi everyone
I am based in NW England working in Community Mental Health in Ormskirk. I'm a member of the BCS Nursing Specialist Group, RCN IN group and been interested in IT in health since 1980. I wrote computer aided learning programs on the BBC micro - yes I'm getting on a bit... ;-)
I've done work in data standards, and on the NHS CRS local implementation. Since 1998 I've had a website for a health and social care model called Hodges model. The site is static and needs completely revamping. I'm learning Drupal (and Ruby) to create a new website and possibly a community.
Intranet for policy creation
Hi All,
My first post as a new member of this group. Glad to be here. I work as an all-purpose IT person at our local health region in Newfoundland, Canada. I'm now in the process of developing tools that help people across the region, and across the country have discussions and collaborate on policy.

X Prize lays down a new gauntlet for the Drupal community
The latest X-Prize (http://www.xprize.org/future-x-prizes/healthcare-x-prize) relates to healthcare in the United States and the enormous challenges it faces.
Not the least of these is electronic medial records (EMR), which US healthcare companies are reluctant to deal with. In the world of Big Health, $20B to fix EMR is a drop in the bucket. In the open source community $1M would be beyond generous to fund an initiative. Something like 30% of every dollar spent on healthcare is devoted to the keeping of paper records.

DrupalCon Business Presentations Needed!
Hi all!
We are looking for speakers for the upcoming DrupalCon in Boston. Since you are subscribed to the Healthcare group, you might be especially interested in the "Business and Marketing" track (see http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/business-and-marketing-track-descriptions ).
This track covers the following topics:
- The Drupal ecosystem
- Businesses learning to use Drupal
- Case studies
- Showcases: NPO, Education, News, Media, Government, Healthcare
Getting things started
Hi, I'm a Pharmacy student who is looking to working in the informatics sector of health care. I believe Drupal can be a platform for a health care CMS.
We should get things started by listing features that are:
- Essential for the distribution
- Good to have
And then work from there.
Check My website in Health care
Dear All,

Thank you all in advance

What's your interest in this group? . . .
Well, it doesn't look like anything has happened in this group since my departure some months ago. Is anyone interested in doing anything with this group?
Is this group working?
Hi,
I see no activity whatsoever here. Is this working? I would like to discuss ideas with fellow groupers :)
Best wishes,

Drupal as a Health Care CMS
First Let me introduce my self. My name is Dr Sreeram Penna, I am trainee surgeon in Liverpool Surgical Rotation, United Kingdom. My idea to start a venture for custom drupal distribution for Health came as I was reading this Dries post. Health care industry is complex and very diverse. Its IT needs are broad. In my opinion the scope of a health care CMS are
Starting Afresh . . .
It looks like this group is going to be the one to handle the various aspects of Drupal Meets Medicine & Health Care. Personally, I have been a computer consultant for many different types of medical practices over the last 12 years, but the area I have had the most involvement in is home health care. One of the things I would really like to do is to develop a program for home health care agencies that doesn't limit their choices on what they can do with technology. It seems that most software out there is like that right now.
Shall We Merge? . . .
We now have two groups that seem to be focusing on very similar aspects. I don't think we actually need both. I think we can combine the two and morph the resulting one to fit the needs of all subscribers. Comments?
