As many as 98,000 people die each year as a result of preventable
medical errors which Free and Open Source electronic medical records
software could reduce. A contender in this area is the Veterans
Administration (VA) public domain VistA codebase and large community.
In a major advance for FOSS in medicine, Joseph Dal Molin of
WorldVistA reports success in getting the VA Computerized Patient
Record System (CPRS) VistA client running on Linux using WINE and
Crossover office. The CPRS client formerly ran only on the Microsoft
Windows operating system and is widely deployed on thousands of
workstations within the United States VA system. More details of this
development and a screenshot can be found here:
