To All, I'm working on an open source (GPL actually) project to build a modern tool kit communities can use to participate in the National Health Information Network (NHIN). There's just four of us working on it, but we've made so much headway that we're now part of the Connecting for Health prototype development process.
http://www.connectingforhealth.org/news/pressrelease_060105.html Our open source project ("Open Health Records Exchange" or OpenHRE) is the software used to build the Mendocino Health Records Exchange component in the Connecting for Health demonstration. We're working in Java on Tomcat. OpenHRE is a derivative of the CORBAmed project "OpenEMed" (BSD License) from Los Alamos National Labs in the 1990s. Here's our portal: http://openhre.org/ Today HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt announced new funding awards to develop prototype solutions for the NHIN. http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2005pres/20051110.html We're included in the new HHS award as part of the Connecting for Health team. Just wanted you all to know that open source solutions are included in this round of testing.
