Collecting samples (scans) of medical records from around the world was
one of the projects for the openhealth-list I suggested over a year ago
(
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00844.html
).
This was suggested a means of getting more information flowing between
medical practitioners and developers in open source health care. The
Spirit site (www.euspirit.org) will shortly have an "Introduction to
open source medical informatics" group authored online resource (Wiki)
where this information could be hosted. Bud Bruegger is the editor of
this resource.
I have spoken with Bud an he would be happy to host this information and
the entire Spirit team can use our spirit contacts to seek out this
information from European sources. We could accept paper documents for
scanning or anyone can upload scanned documents since the resource is an
open forum.
A desciption of this service from the Spirit portal plan
http://www.euspirit.org/documents/deliv-d3.pdf follows:
----------------------
Needs, Objectives, and Benefits
The open source health care community is quite specialised and difficult
to approach for new potential participants who are missing certain key
concepts. In particular, participation on a development project requires
background knowledge in these areas:
Health care
Health care management
Computing science
Available open source systems
Many potential participants come from closely related communities such
as the general open source programming community, the medical
profession, or the proprietary health care informatics community. These
potential participants need an introduction to the concept areas that
they are not yet familiar with in order to join the community.
Also, participants in roles outside of development have an occasional
need to look up specific technical terms.
Description
The "Introduction to Open Source Health Care Informatics" knowledge base
is designed to deliver basic information for newcomers. The community
itself, especially newcomers, will build this resource.
The technology framework is a "Wiki" collaborative authoring system that
lets community members create, edit, and refine topic entries. The topic
entries form a searchable and expandable web site. More information on
this tool is described later in this document.
The site will be seeded with basic topics written by the Spirit team.
This service is experimental and depends on community involvement for
the ongoing editing and monitoring of the content. Security is by basic
e-mail confirmation of identity. It is easy to find newly created or
edited topics either from the site or by e-mail notification.
Multilingual Features
Although topics can be created in any language, this will primarily be
an English resource. If sufficient interest is shown, alternate language
forums may be created at a later date.
Cost and Availability
This is a free community service.
