This are task which are covered by so called "Content Management Systems"
(CMS) and they are by no means special for medical care tasks.  Often CMS
are adapted to special needs for certain projects.

I think Debian contains some of such CMS frameworks which can be adapted
for certaeeds.  At least there exists one I know of which is a framework
on top of the Zope web application server which is called "Content
Management Framework".  It is available in the package zope-cmf (and related).
See all of these packages by

      apt-get search zope-cmf

The sourceforge code is available via

      apt-get install sourceforge

Description: Integrated development project framework
 This package provides many services a development project can use,
 such as bug-tracking, task management, mailing-lists, CVS repository,
 forums, support request helper, web page / FTP hosting, release
 management, etc.  All these services are integrated into one web site.
 They are managed via a nice web interface.

I don't know whether the hints above would help.  Any information about
software projects which would cover your ideas better can be put on the
Debian-Med todo list.

Kind regards
