Re: The Coming Electronic Health Record Software D
by Veda Aranyam on Tuesday September 25, @10:34PM

This article and the previous eClinicals one really frustrate me and I am helpless. What are we to do as individual FOSS practitioners.

I am in Vermont, a very small state. We have sent a Socialist as Senator to Washignton (Bernie Sanders). I thought FOSS would be welcome with open arms in vermont. On the contrary, Vermont is funding ( I heard like some 130 million Dollars) an EHR pilot, led by an Organization(non profit ?) called, VITL (vitl.net) and FOSS is shut out.

I have talked to almost everyone in VITL and they have no clue about FOSS. I even showed them OpenEMR that I use in a pediatric practice, successfully.I tried to tell them that they should fund OpenVista or other FOSS EHR's to enhance/configure for Vermont requirements. VITL operates some forums for discussions, and any discussions on FOSS had been censored/moderated out.

Anyone out there in FOSSland who have much more organizational power than I do ? Please visit vitl.net and see what's being done, and how you can interfere :-)

Thanks,
Veda
