Healthcare, Meet Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| "Medical facilities and doctors all have their own ways of communicating
| and distributing medical information much of it hard copy," Scott Handy,
| vice president of worldwide Linux and open source at IBM, told
| internetnews.com.
|
| "There is no good way to transmit medical information because there was
| no standard."
|
| Even with a standard in place, solutions would still be difficult to come
| by, which is why IBM is open sourcing an implementation of a health
| care information exchange standard.
