TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2003 --- 5:30 to 8:30 P.M. SHRINERS HOSPITAL AUDITORIUM 1310 PUNAHOU STREET ASKLEPIOS ALOHA--THE FUTURE OF OPEN-SOURCE MEDICAL SOFTWARE IN HAWAII With a well-defined set of data elements, interactions, and procedures, it seems reasonable to expect a significant improvement in the quality of health care delivered throughout Asia and the Pacific. When a patient has to travel to Honolulu for treatment, his or her medical records will be easily obtainable, and follow-up treatment more easily monitored. Consultations will also be easier and the results less prone to errors of interpretation. It ought to be possible to get the same benefits in other medical centers, such as Singapore. Local health care service should be improved as well, due to the automation of current manual record keeping systems at almost no cost. PANELISTS Dan Davis, M.D., from Queen's Hospital and Interactive Care Technologies, a promoter and developer of commercial medical software including at home telemonitoring. Lawrence Burgess, M.D., Director of Telemedicine/Clinical Affairs, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii. Tin Myaing Thein, East-West Center alumnus and executive director of Pacific Gateway Center (http://www.pacificgateway.org/). Warren Togami, leader of the Fedora project (http://www.fedora.us/) and the Hawaii Linux For Schools project, showcased at Mid-Pacific Institute.
