Open Source Goes Vertical
,----[ Quote ]
| I had the opportunity to moderate a panel in the Healthcare track. My
| panel focused on "Opening up Healthcare Markets with Open Source" and
| it provided some interesting discussion. Members of the panel ran the
| gamut: a healthcare expert from IBM, the CTO of Agfa Healthcare, a
| software engineering manager from HP, an open source software provider
| to small clinics and medical practices, and the sales VP from Medsphere.
| The latter company is a fascinating open source story: it provides
| Electronic Health Record (EHR) software based upon VISTA, an EHR system
| developed by the US Government's Veterans Administration. Medsphere
| received the software under the Freedom of Information Act, since the
| US Government does not copyright anything it publishes, including
| software!
