[Gnumed-devel] Re: integration or middleware

GnuCash do the general accounting and GnuMed interfacing with

GnuMed: "process bill for this patient" which would talk to
FreeB and "show accounting for this patient" which would talk
to GnuCash. Also "show practice accounting" would go to a
higher level in GnuCash.
[Yudhvir  -- So, if I understand this:

a.  "Process bill for this patient" would pass-on whatever needs to be 
collected to FreeB which does ALL billing - insurance and patient? What if 
there is an error in coding or something. Would FreeB send a message to 
Gnumed? It is fine to have one button to do this, but the system needs to 
be designed as a two-way dialog IMHO.

b.  Same with "show practice accounting" - two-way dialog. And we cannot 
expect either Gnucash or FreeB to be cognizant of Gnumed. Meaning we should 
not put any code into those apps - right?

c.  I think I'll go look at Gnucash
