Reminder: Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in healthcare unconference in Houston next week

I grew up in Houston and normally it’s not exactly the best place to be in the middle of Summer (it’s pretty hot and humid); however, this Summer is different because we have the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in healthcare unconference taking place next week.

This is a conference/unconference about Free and Open Source Software in Healthcare. Open Source was specifically mentioned in the Hi-Tech portion of the stimulus bill!

All of the top projects will be showing off their newest stuff Open Source systems. So far we have confirmations from

• WorldVistA (EHR),

• Misys (Interoperability),

• OpenMRS (EHR)

• ClearHealth (EHR)

• OpenClinica (Clinical Research)

• Mirth – WebReach (HL7 router!),

• OpenVistA -Medsphere (EHR)

• Sun Microsystems

If you are thinking about installing -any- Health Information technology, from EHR to clinical research, this is one stop shopping for the most cost-effective source for these technologies.
