Thanks, Alex.
It's not just about free / open source software, it is also very much
about Linux. The software stack of VistA on GT.M on Linux is a
complete free / open source healthcare information system software
stack, including a comprehensive and widely used electronic health
record. You can go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista and
download a QEMU software appliance of VistA on GT.M on DSL, you can
download a live CD (recent ones are based on DSL, some older ones are
based on Knoppix, and an experimental live CD based on Oralux to
evaluate the feasibility of a free / open source healthcare
information system software stack for the visually impaired). You can
also get a tarball of VistA bundled with GT.M to run on your favorite
Linux.
WorldVistA (http://worldvista.org) has taken a flavor of VistA through
certification by the Certification Commission for Healthcare
Information Technology (http://cchit.org). This WorldVistA EHR is the
only open source software (combination of public domain and GPL) to be
so certified. In the healthcare world, this is a big deal.
Anyone who is interested, write to me off list.
Full disclosure: for my "day job", I manage GT.M, and am actually
trying to execute a business strategy based on software licensed under
GPL. [No, it's not easy trying to make money with open source.]
