HIMSS day1: Medsphere

,----[ Quote ]
| In reality there is a component of HIMSS that is FOSS-friendly and FOSS runs 
| as an under current at every HIMSS conference that I have attended. It can be 
| hard to find but it is there.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| Two less people die every day at Midland b/c of the systems in place to 
| handle central-line infections inside OpenVistA. Wow. That means that 
| Medsphere clients are starting to get VA-like improved outcomes. All at a 
| fraction of the cost of the proprietary alternatives
