Q&A: Connecting in Connecticut

,----[ Quote ]
| How important is an open-source solution 
| for HIE, when interoperability is required 
| for compliance with federal mandates?
| The Nationwide Health Information Network, 
| and the fact that it is using open-source 
| technology, really led us to start our own

| the Free Open Source Software (FOSS) movement came
| much earlier, but it was the millennial recession
| I call the âdot-bombâ that put it into overdrive.
