Are open source electronic health records the future?
,----[ Quote ]
| Though West Virginia may not be in the top national rankings when it comes to
| overall health, wealth and education, it is leading the way in electronic
| health record (EHR) open source adoption.
|
| Recently the state chose to adopt EHRs the old fashioned way...by stealing
| from the federal government...sort of. By tapping into the Veteran's Affairs
| (VA) EHR system that is available to health providers at no cost, West
| Virginia became the first state to adopt the EHR system state-wide,
| implementing the software across its state-run hospitals and nursing homes.

W.Va. saves money on electronic medical records
,----[ Quote ]
| Doctors and hospitals in the U.S. worry about costs as they switch over from
| paper patient records to electronic systems, but West Virginia's seven
| state-run health care facilities have found a cost-friendly solution.
|
| Using open-source software based on the system in Veterans Administration
| hospitals, they're avoiding millions of dollars in licensing fees.

Healthcare Conference to Focus on Open Source Solutions
,----[ Quote ]
| Panels, presentations, and Birds of a Feather meetings are certainly the
| highlight of next month's Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE), but that's
| not the only thing happening during the event. The Demonstrating Open Source
| Health Care Solutions (DOHCS) conference will be co-located with SCALE and
| both will get underway on Friday, February 20, 2009.
