Along the same lines of "health centers" - our Student Health Center is still on paper records and has been told that 
they need to move to "electronic records management".  We have a student body of ~30,000, with a total of ~50,000 
active student health records at any given point in time.  It's a very small clinical setting with only 2-3 health 
providers, but the data clearly falls under HIPAA.  We know we need to get them off "paper", but neither we, nor they, 
are sure what software packages they should be looking at.

Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome.....

After 30+ years in healthcare and experience with many healthcare vendors, I recommend you review Epic Systems 
Corporation at http://www.epic.com/. They have systems for both large and small organizations in inpatient and 
outpatient environments. In my experience, they have a strong implementation strategy and good customer support.
