Having a background in a Youth in Residential Care (YIRC) setting is something of a must to continue on reading. If you dont know anything about YiRC settings & have experience in a YiRC setting, then a lot of concepts in this document may not make any sense to you.
Having a background in computers (and/or Linux/Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL, etc...) is another must. In order to install and learn Freemed-YiRC you must at least know how to turn the computer on and operate it. If you wish to install Freemed-YiRC, but know next to nothing about Linux/Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL, etc... but have used Windows & the Internet, then I recommend you ask your favorite computer person to do the install. After Freemed-YiRC is installed & configured, you should be able to navigate around it with little problems.

Anyone wanting to learn about Freemed-YiRC. Anyone planning on installing, configuring, and/or using Freemed-YiRC. Anyone who has once heard of Freemed-YiRC. Anyone in a YiRC setting/agency/company... etc... :)

Anyone with a short attention span. Anyone who has never, is not, or will never be associated with a YiRC setting. Anyone never planning on using Freemed-YiRC. Anyone who thinks Hope Floats is a cool movie. Anyone who thinks Linux sucks. Anyone who thinks the GPL is a bad thing. Anyone who is against free/open source software. Etc...

Freemed-YiRC is a piece of software that aims to aid companies/agencies set in a Youth in Residential Care (YiRC) environment.

Current Information SSystems (IS) software on the market currently costs far too much and/or does to little. Or, there may be a good package, but one is not free to modify it. New laws or regulations may get passed that require you to change or upgrade your current system.

Freemed-YiRC aims to (hopefully) solve these problems and provide a good solution to YiRC agencies with low budgets and big requirements.
