Open Sources Health Terminology Workbench
,----[ Quote ]
| âOpen sourcing the IHTSDO Workbench will make
| it easier for developers from around the world
| to work together to further develop these
| tools,â said John Gutai, IHTSDOâs chief
| technical architect. âIt also means that
| organizations and standards bodies from around
| the world can use the same tools to maintain
| their own terminologies and coding systems,
| leveraging the investment that IHTSDO and its
| Members have made.â

Survey Looks at Open Source Data Integration Tools
,----[ Quote ]
| This report is a great read for understanding
| how open source data and BI solutions are being
| adopted, but it also includes short list of
| recommendations for those considering open
| source. I also found the discussion on the
| difference between "community" and "enterprise"
| editions helpful in avoiding or at least
| understanding one of the common gotchas of open
| source -- finding you have to pay if you want
| to unlock the more useful features.

How software companies could screw up Obamaâs health care reform.
,----[ Quote ]
| Things did not go so smoothly at Childrenâs
| Hospital of Pittsburgh, which installed a
| computerized health system in 2002. Rather
| than a godsend, the new system turned out to
| be a disaster, largely because it made it
| harder for the doctors and nurses to do
| their jobs in emergency situations. The
| computer interface, for example, forced
| doctors to click a mouse ten times to make a
| simple order...
|
| Why did similar attempts to bring health
| care into the twenty-first century lead to
| triumph at Midland but tragedy at
| Childrenâs? While many factors were no doubt
| at work, among the most crucial was a
| difference in the software installed by the
| two institutions. 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.
