#drupalcon Florida Hospital Takes Charge of Their Destiny with Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| In August 2007, Florida hospital hired a
| "rock star" physician. With this hire, a
| series of events was triggered that would
| end up with Drupal (news, site) hosting
| over 125 department and team intranet
| sites, over 40 externally-facing marketing
| sites and a growing number of other
| applications. Want to know more? Read on.

The Complexities to Creating Real Electronic Health Records
,----[ Quote ]
| Is any of this insurmountable? Certainly
| not, and there are a number of areas where
| the Open Source community can play a
| valuable roll. But on reviewing the
| challenges, I also see why there is not
| more involvement. Many of the issues
| require specialized knowledge of a number
| of aspects of what is today a black box to
| many. There are few defined requirements
| and even fewer good directions. But then,
| is that not what is the best about the Open
| Source community? We see a problem and try
| to solve it. Perhaps the right problem has
| not been presented. Or maybe it is such a
| niche that I have not seen the strides we
| have made. But as the big guns of the
| consulting world are looking at solving
| this, I hope they will leverage the Open
| Source model, as well as solutions used
| elsewhere. And perhaps, just perhaps, a
| year-five year-from now, we will be talking
| about Open Source eHealth software the same
| way we talk about network management
| software or VoIP software.

HealthAlliance restarts open-source desktop project
,----[ Quote ]
| Auckland health shared services unit
| HealthAlliance has resuscitated efforts to
| develop a standard desktop based on open-
| source software, but CIO Phil Brimacombe
| says it looks as though the District Health
| Boards will never be able to divorce their
| desktops entirely from Microsoft.
|
| First mooted in 2005, the open-source
| desktop idea, seen as potentially relevant
| for all DHBs, was âput into mothballsâ in
| 2009, owing to many higher-priority
| projects, Brimacombe says.
|
| [...]
|
| âThereâs no way we could be Microsoft-
| free,â says Brimacombe, âbut we expect a
| hybrid solution will still lower our total
| cost of ownership.â
