How software companies could screw up Obamaâs health care reform.
,----[ Quote ]
| The system that Midland adopted is based on software originally written by
| doctors for doctors at the Veterans Health Administration, and it is whatâs
| called "open source," meaning the code can be read and modified by anyone and
| is freely available in the public domain rather than copyrighted by a
| corporation. For nearly thirty years, the VA softwareâs code has been
| continuously improved by a large and ever-growing community of collaborating,
| computer-minded health care professionals, at first within the VA and later
| at medical institutions around the world. Because the program is open source,
| many minds over the years have had the chance to spot bugs and make
| improvements. By the time Midland installed it, the core software had been
| road-tested at hundred of different hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes by
| hundreds of thousands of health care professionals.

| offer government âproven solutionsâ while open source advocates will offer
| tools the government might build on.
