Open Source Could Cut Costs for Federal, State and Local Government (Opinion)

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source technology enables both equal access and the freedom to 
| distribute a technology's source code -- in essence the "language" on which 
| it's built. It includes an accepted set of standards that allow a business or 
| government the freedom to move its critical data and IT services on, off and 
| in-between products from different companies, whenever it chooses.

Open Source EHRs Set to Grow

,----[ Quote ]
| On the surface, open source technology seems questionable -- software
| engineers finagling with code and cobbling together a system that constantly
| evolves from countless minds. In reality, open source is a viable option for
| HIT, and its ability to retool and reshape rapidly may prove beneficial as
| new technologies and health care innovations emerge.

CCHIT proposes three certification paths

,----[ Quote ]
| Some of the impetus for change stems from the open-source community. Leavitt
| said feedback from a CCHIT-hosted forum in April showed open-source
| developers are concerned with the cost of certification. As for meeting all
| of CCHIT’s criteria, open-source developers run into licensing issues when
| they attempt to include certain code sets, Leavitt added.
