Hey Ignacio,

TORCH has always been a Plone/Archetypes project, but due to workflow  
necessity, it has become necessary ( and ultimately desireable) to  
move the project to Plone 2.1.x.  With the release of Plone 2.1.1,  
there are a lot of features that we can use that will really help us  
out, and simplify what we have been trying to do... Well, with the  
exception of getting a useable system out the door!

Time has been our enemy here.  I am in the process of finishing the  
move to Plone 2.1.1, and Zope 2.8.  I hope to have this up soon.  We  
have seriously missed our goal of November 1 for a demo site.  I  
apologize for that.  But if anyone wants, I can send a picture of my  
son. :)

So.  Here is what we have done.

Calendaring: Written by Jake Isaac, which works pretty well.  He is  
working on a templating system.
EMR: Mostly working, has a "unified" encounter system, so that you  
can combine multiple objects into one view, and display it in a way  
that is logical.  It is pretty cool, I think.  Needs some stuff added  
yet, but they are small.
History: track Surgical, Medical Social history
Rx: prescriptions, with re-order, and refill ability. (almost.)

Here is what we have planned:
WORKFLOW!!! we are stuck here.  Need this working next, or we can't  
dev the rest of the system.  Planning on using Alphaflow, a well  
documented, activity based.  AFter the plone conversion, I will work  
on this.
Billing: keep track of billing codes for US use, CPT, and HCPCS,   
(with ICD-9),  Hoping to use Freeb2, but not sure if we can yet... We  
will see.
Accounting: have to keep track of the Billing somehow, I have started  
to play with BastionLedger, and I think it will suit our purpose well.

this will give us a functional system.
