Great work, your personal dedication is impressive.

I am sure this depends upon where you stand now compared to 5 years ago.
Since my perspective is still that of a US academic medical center, I
would have to say the technological landscape is in more turmoil then
ever before and the status of linux in medicine is just as uncertain now
as it was 5 years ago.

Certainly from the research perspective both linux, in the form of
affordable super computer clusters and Mac OS X in the form of desktop
alternative and as a server hub for a unit or lab, the momentum is
clearly established.  But in classrooms, homes and offices, little
impact is felt.

LMN: Windows VistA Client Running on Linux

2005-04-01 Thread Ignacio Valdes
As many as 98,000 people die each year as a result of preventable 
medical errors which Free and Open Source electronic medical records 
software could reduce. A contender in this area is the Veterans 
Administration (VA) public domain VistA codebase and large community. 
In a major advance for FOSS in medicine, Joseph Dal Molin of 
WorldVistA reports success in getting the VA Computerized Patient 
Record System (CPRS) VistA client running on Linux using WINE and 
Crossover office. The CPRS client formerly ran only on the Microsoft 
Windows operating system and is widely deployed on thousands of 
workstations within the United States VA system. More details of this 
development and a screenshot can be found here:
