There is an important but small subset of the market where open source is an absolutely essential feature -- informatics training and research. When these systems have been deployed in research and academic settings for a few years and have a track record in the literature, then it is not just a matter of greater reliability and lower cost, but also patient outcomes. Even this is not sufficient because many proprietary health care systems are able to point to studies and reports from users about their effectiveness. Commercial exploitation is also needed to turn software into customer solutions. -- Brian Bray Minoru Development Corporation; Minoru Development SARL The home of Openhealth(tm): http://www.openhealth.com 3, rue du Colonel Moll, 75017 Paris France +33.6.8750.2465
