  OSS Primer for Heath Care Leaders
Interesting Developments Posted by John Norris on Saturday March 11, 2006 @ 12:27 AM
from the White_Papers dept.
iHealth and Technology brings you a Forrester Whitepaper: Open Source Software Primer for Health Care Leaders. "While not heralding the end of commercial software vendors, the report concludes that conditions are ripe for open source solutions to take root in health care, and that it will likely become the standard for capturing, sharing, and managing patient information to support quality care. It also notes that health care businesses have the opportunity to take the lead and drive the shift to this new model." iHealth and Technology Digg this article

Thanks to The Healthcare IT Guy. Interesting comment there too.
