 Thank you Brian for this timely decision. I sincerely hope this will
 be a start for a new era for the OSS in Healthcare Community. I have
 forwarded this e-mail to the Yahoo list for discussion. Many of you
 who had not signed on the yahoo list may have missed out on the
 discussion on the ressurrection of OSHCA. I will be moving for the
 ressurrection quickly now. Barring unforseen circumstances and a
 change in sentiments, we should see OSHCA back as well as one
 openhealth list. In the meantime I'm going to post on both lists and
 I look to getting support for my actions based on decisions made
 during past discussions for the ressurrection on OSHCA.

  Thanks everyone for the feedback.
 
  I have a proposal that I've worked out with Molly Cheah, who is 
  working to incorporate the Open Source Health Care Alliance
 (OSHCA).  
  Joseph Dal Molin, Tim Cook, and Adrian Midgley were also involved.
 
  The proposal is to form the Openhealth list at OSHCA.ORG managed by
 
  volunteers for OSHCA. This list and the Yahoo list would be moved
 and 
  closed. The OSHCA domain name and trademark would be transfered as 
  soon as possible to facilitate this event.
 
  This proposal would realise a goal that I have had for a long time.
 As 
  far as I can determine, it would meet all the concerns expressed
 over 
  the last few days.
 
  Please comment on this proposal and feel free to ask any questions 
  either on the lists or directly to Dr. Cheah or myself.

Welcome back Brian! Sounds like you are doing a treasure hunt! Are you 
still based in Paris?

Re: Australian OpenEHR implementation, was Re: Typed untyped languages

2004-04-23 Thread David Chan
Perhaps I'll add my nickle's worth here. I have personally come to
believe that an Open Source project is characterized by an openness to
collaborate with others. If one is to work on an OS project alone then
gives it away for free - that makes the person a Santa Claus! I have in
fact learned that there are many who have the good intention to share
their code but few who truly embrace the OS community spirit. I
understand Horst's frustration (and others). The fact that we keep
hearing that a certain OS will some day be released but in the mean
time it's not open for collaboration makes one wonder if it truly is an
OS project at all.

 Thomas, Horst and Tim,
  So, just to clarify.
  I gather that none you know of any specific plan to publish the
 Australian implementation of OpenEHR under an open source license?
  
 
 the implementation of which I am talking is _one_ implementation of
 openEHR, being done for a clinical trial as part of the national
 HealthConnect programme. This isn't the _reference_ implementation of
 the openEHR specifications however, which is underway, and which will
 definitely be released open source. The HealthConnect project is to
 build a system for a particular need, the openEHR reference work will
 build high-quality, re-usable openEHR components which can be used in
 many systems. As you might imagine there are a number of projects
 using openEHR specifications - there is nothing to stop anyone using
 them, but there is no obligation on users of the specs to release
 their code.

Re: Alberta Canada - POSP

2004-03-29 Thread David Chan
OSCAR has not been asked to participate in this program. However, a
number of clinics have chosen to use OSCAR in another similar program
in British Columbia:

 Alberta, Canada appears to be working on EHR integration for its
 providers called Physician Office System Program (POSP).  
 
 Is OSCAR participating in this program?
 
 Anyone on this list participating in this program and able to share
 details on how POSP works?
