Well, the knowledge we gathered is more or less summed up at the Debian-Med
web page.  In the section of Hospital Information Systems at

    http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/his.html

are some entries.  When I look at these I remember that there were some
others mentioned on some mailing lists, but I do not know these by hard
and have no time to check.  My personal opinion is that VISTA seems to
be the most advanced software but it might be kind of overkill for your
purpose.  You should try the other links and have a look at them.  I just
noticed that also on the page of medical practice systems

   http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/practice.html

is something that is used in clinics - perhaps we should rework our
categories a little bit.

Any hints or links you might find on your research are helpful for us to
enhance our information pages.  In general I have to admit:  If you are
not able to do *A LOT* of programming work in your own you will not
find a ready to run Free Software system for your special case.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
