Hi, Is it possible to find information about the pro's and contra's of OpenEhr compared to GEHR (HealthOne)?
HealthOne has the advantage that it already is build on a proven concept, and has binaries which are thoroughly tested on the market. But it is not OpenSource, which is a disadvantage. Besides that, more important is how OpenEhr differs as a result now or in future. Let me explain what I have seen from Healthone. It has an archetype-kind of layer. it will be extended to compatibility to OpenEhr archetypes, I was told. The archetypes are build of medical-terms, I called it Dictionary, yesterday. It is a list of 6000 terms, in five languages, it can be extended if needed. But you need HealthOne to do that, or else other Healthone users cannot read your records fully. Chances are not may that ever a HealthOne system will read records directly. Mostly they will have to be translated to an intermediate format, like Edifact, which is in the Netjherlands used a lot. What are possible weaknesses in this design, and how does OpenEhr solve this? Are there other weaknesses in GEHR (Healthone)?, if there was none, then progress would hardly be possible ;-) Can someone point me to locations on the Internet where this is discussed, or can someone explain this for me? I will be very thankful. -- Kind regards Bert Verhees
