The Clinic as been operating on a paper system since it opened its doors.  They curently have no computers to help perform the work.  The class groups have been assigned to design a new computer system to get away from all the paper trails.

I have no idea what is out there regarding open source sw for a health clinic.  I have seen some different references, but some of those web sites are no longer there or not in English.

This sounds like the exact type of thing GNUe was designed for or at
least many pieces of it.  It is a tool to build such an application (and
since your group is looking to build instead of get shrink wrap its a
good fit)  It is also 100% cross platform, so your windows loving team
members can chug along on windows while you happily use your redhat and
it gives the clinic the choice of running either or a mixture of the
two.
