I will continue to follow this thread and will comment or participate as seems appropriate. I looked at the lengthy and comprehensive white paper and would suggest a reading of the introduction will give this team the focus of the paper. Doc John as a contributor to the paper can fill in the details. If the team decides to pursue e-patient database development as one (or more) of its projects, then the "free" organizer's database sounds like a starting point. Aside from Carolyn's "it won't happen" reference to orgs working together is it assumed that focus will be set aside for now? The white paper's message that patient input via the internet is "the wave of the future" is consistent with this group's objective. It was mine in the 1950's when the first business use of computers was introduced to my backward generation. We have come a long way since then. Good luck! Bob
