Thanks Nandalal. I was wondering: whatever happened to the old discussions about making interchangeable health software objects (rather than large bulky applications). That was at a time when XML was just revving up and web services was in its infancy. Tom Beale had a lot to share about GEHR, artifacts and the like. I thought that was interesting. To some extent, we implemented the same concept in CHITS but we would hardly call it standard. (It takes a global community to create a standard?)
Does OSHCA have a framework of some sort for this kind of health software object interchange? That's where gap is most felt in the industry and where openness would be of most value. I admire MirrorMed's 'gluing' stuff together. That was the kind of cooperation I had expected from OSHCA 'products' before. And that's where FOSS is strong and gains an edge over proprietary products. --- In openhealth@yahoogroups.com, Nandalal Gunaratne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > alvinbmarcelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This looks like a very good system.
