All information below is published in the Dutch press, specially, the always good informed website on health ICT: Qure (http://www.qure.nl). Normally, I don't repeat press-messages on this or any other mailinglist, but this looks very important to many of us, who are working on a OpenEhr-implementation. I hope OpenEhr related press will occur so frequently that we don't need to know. Anyhow, a business-succes for Openehr related software is in my opinion a success for all of us. It means that OpenEhr will be something management have to think/talk about
The latest update on this thread is, that the MCA (medical centre alkmaar) will run, as first hospital, software based on the European EPD standard (CEN 13606). This is also said by Hans Kedzierski /(the person who announced that 10 hospitals are going to use the software from Google or Microsoft)/, member of the board of the MCA, and is published last friday This latest announcement will be explained on a public meeting in october. Interesting are the companies who are working together on this: HP, de 13-Groep, ERC, Unusual Visions, Carelliance/Medical Insight, Technicolor, ASP4All, Eurofiber en Priority Telecom. Special interesting for us is ERC (http://www.e-recordcompany.eu/), reseller of Ocean Software. ERC seems a brand new company, its website is not (yet) fully functional (need some polishing). Does this mean that the MCA will be using the two systems simultaneous? Does this mean that there will be data-migration software between OpenEhr and "Google or Microsoft" (always mentioned together by Kedzierski//)? And if, how does this reflect on us? Will Google create an OpenEHR-data-exchange API? More on this you can read in on the news-site Qure: http://www.qure.nl/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3179&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 (it is not a free news-service) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
