Open source software - has its time come?
,----[ Quote ]
| If you ask Tom Watson, the UK's minister for digital engagement, the answer
| would be a resounding yes. Recently he issued a rallying cry for government
| to adopt open source technology in far greater volumes than it has in the
| past (and this is despite the fact that 35% of NHS organisations already use
| Linux in the backbone).

HIMSS going open source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Ed Dodds pointed me to this, and while it’s not a big story it’s a good
| indication of where we’re going.

| HealthCareIT News, published by Medtech Publishing in partnership with the
| HIMSS trade group, has become a Drupal shop.

A Different VistA for the NHS?
,----[ Quote ]
| As I noted earlier last year, the Open Health Tools Foundation mentioned
| above was actually co-founded by a group of organisations including NHS
| Connecting for Health. This latest move of DSS should strengthen the OHT
| Foundation enormously, and make VistA even more attractive to healthcare
| providers around the world - including the NHS. Could this be the straw that
| finally broke the proprietary camel's back in UK healthcare? What will be the
| NHS's, er, view?
