Always true.
Perhaps it is more likely for LinuDent going together with e.g. TkFp
(Tcl/Tk-FamilyPractice)? It might get much easier to add an additional
Dental Module into TkFp which has the same Language than to
merge with OdontoLinux (if that uses another technology).
In the end, I think there is not a big difference between using a
software in a General Practitioner's practice and using it for
Specialists such as Dentists, Internists (don't know in English),
Chirurgists (??) etc. All there might be necessary is one or two
additional modules to the software.
Most functionality is common between all kinds of practices:
Administrating Patient Data, Keeping an EHR, Laboratory,
Imaging etc. It may be slightly more difficult to create such a
flexible system that can be used in many kinds. But it will be
_a hundred times_ more effort if we all try to create a complete
system for each special use.
BTW, I also claim that Veterinary Doctors could use this one flexible
system.
One link allowed?

It's all about one common domain! OpenEHR is working on it. The kind
of modules (or systems?) around that domain is arbitrary.
