anyone know about this????
David,
Apart from the inaccuracies in the article (e.g., running VistA on an open source implementation of Mumps is "theoretically possible") the article reminds me of a similar article I once read about the AAFP and the impending arrival of an open source EHR solution.
Speaking of recent trade press, I'm also enjoying the current FCW coverage on open source.

I like the "Resistance is Futile" headline, but as I recall the terrorist hive that made that claim in Star Trek was unsuccessful in several attempts.
