Howdy, let me cut and paste a response I left on LinuxMedNews yesterday: A bit of clarification regarding AllscriptsMisys: Last year Misys plc purchased a little more than half of Allscripts. During the acquisition, the Misys healthcare vertical merged with Allscripts to create the NewCo - traded on the NASDAQ as AllscriptsMisys, branded as Allscripts. Misys plc remains a separate entity, albeit majority shareholder of AllscriptsMisys. Within Misys plc there is an Open Source Solutions division (/me waves), headed up by Tim Elwell, VP of the healthcare division. We are not only cocreating FOSS, but utilizing existing FOSS to satisfy customer needs.
Misys Open Source Solutions(MOSS) currently sponsors two projects on Sourceforge: Braid, the IHE client libraries that you received at SCALE last year, and OpenPIXPDQ, a full implementation of the PIX/PDQ profile. OpenPIXPDQ will be at the Connectathon in February, after which we will be moving the project to the Open Health Tools forge. In a December press release MOSS announced that it will be continuing to implement the server side components of the IHE profiles under the auspices of Open Health Tools and with the help of work being produced by the California Health Care Foundation (thanks Odysseus!). OpenXDS is next on our roadmap. We're looking forward to your downloads, questions, bug reports ... .a To be clear, the full Connect product has not been released to open source, this product continues to be maintained and owned by Misys. As noted above, since we released the IHE client libraries, we have been working toward the development of the server side components.
