In fact most of the involved data are sensible and therefore their access and manipulation is strongly regulated." And from "3.3 Weaknesses": "Care2x cannot be considered a privacy-aware system" Using 'modus tollendo tollens', we can easily conclude from 3.3 and 5., that Care2x could not yet be proved to be a safe hospital information systems supporting software package. Meaning that in countries were there is regulation, it will be not possible to support any hospital information system using the Care2x package. After years following the Care2x project one wonders why it could not solve this basic problem, that other projects (http://www.oemr.org/ for instance) which had by then much less resources, where able to solve easily in a few weeks (using the same available open source ancillary resources). As a matter of fact, I do believe that Care2x (which is more directed towards hospital care support) would have much to learn from (and could reuse lots of code from) if it could find some way of establish a close cooperation with the said openemer project (which is more directed to the private practice office). Also it would be useful to find what turns Care2x in such an elusive golden egg chicken and, either kill the chicken, or tell all those would be gold diggers that this project will never lay eggs made of gold. At most what Care2x will do is help some lucky healthcare providers to keep their patients safer while avoid the costs of software vultures. And that 'per se' would be reason enough to keep Care2x alive. r.
