I noticed a new page attached, to the bottom of the GNUmed wiki
Billing page, a German topic
http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/KBV_Schnittstellen/ZusammenarbeitMitAbrechnungssoftware
Google translation into English:

What seems desired from GNUmed are some functionalities possible
already to some degree:
- person (who does not yet exist in GNUmed) is created in the
accounting program... depending on the co-operation of the creators of
the accounting program, it can be entirely possible for the accounting
program to automatically (or at minimum, on user action) create an
output file and/or otherwise communicate to GNUmed the need to check
whether this patient exists, and if they do not yet exist create them,
but if they do exist update them, via XML-PRC and GNUmed "slave mode".
This would of course need a suitable "mask" to be defined mapping the
correspondences of the data.
- GNUmed to perform any additional actions automatically, either in
follow-up to an action above, or to some other within-GNUmed process
--- I believe that this should to some extent be possible using an
already-provided-for "hooks" framework in GNUmed
- there is a request to be able to use coding systems e.g. for
diagnosis... this is provided for in the GNUmed data structure and
perhaps even some classes but not yet implemented in the GI and a
related challenge exists to obtain stable GPL-friendly sources of
coding systems values
- there is additionally some proposal (BillingProposal) on the wiki
to be able to capture, within GNUmed, items that need to billed
however what more than the need to bill *something* becomes arbitrary
whether to capture the information inside GNUmed vs to notify the
outside accounting system which can then rely upon as-yet undefined
permissions to view/copy data from a GNUmed record.
Not being a German speaker or biller, I'd be interested how well the
above captures what seems to be desired for Germany.
