+# Emergency Department Integration Software
+
+Emergency Department Integration Software (EDIS) incorporates several Web-based views that extend the current Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to help healthcare professionals track and manage the flow of patient care in the emergency- department setting.
+
+## How to build
+
+This project is built using maven (currently version 3.0.3).  You can download
+and install maven from http://maven.apache.org.  The whole build can be invoked
+from the command line from the tracking-parent directory:
+
+	$ mvn clean package
+
+The Flex user interface artifacts are built with the "flexmojos" maven plugin (currently version 4.0).
+In order for maven to run the Flex unit tests you will also need Adobe's Flash Player installed and in
+your PATH.  See <https://docs.sonatype.org/display/FLEXMOJOS/Running+unit+tests> for more info.  To skip
+the unit tests, use:
+
+	$ mvn clean package -DskipTests=true
