  Call for Free/Open Source Deployment Count by November 5th
Medical Open Source Development Posted by Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS on Monday November 03, 2008 @ 08:25 PM
from the medical-open-source-development dept.
The un-official, Draft 7 of the upcoming American Medical Informatics Association Open Source Working Group white paper to be voted on November 9th-11th can be found here. Again it will be voted on for ratification on November 9th-11th or so. Action is needed on your part to answer the question: If open source is so great why is no one using it? There is no aggregate data that I can find to counter this opinion. If you know of a Free/Open Source EHR/EMR deployment and could please send three pieces of information on each deployment that you have by Wednesday November 5th: General Location, software version and most importantly NUMBER OF PATIENTS IN SYSTEM. This paper could have national impact with this data. Please respond by email to ivaldes@hal-pc.org if you are able to obtain this data. Digg this article

      Yes. Some votes are still trickling in but there was only yes votes, 3 abstains and a wishy-washy no vote. It might be up sometime this week if AMIA can get it on that fast. -- IV
