Any more information? [message #2391]

It was interesting to come across the proposal for OHF on eclipse.org
(http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-ohf/). I was wondering if you
had more information about the project to share with our team.

We have a small team located mostly up in Vancouver, BC that is working
on two OSS projects for healthcare. I am not a programmer, but rather
the clinical lead on the projects. Although applications sit above your
framework, there may be some interesting intersections. Our two
projects are:

EGADSS (www.egadss.org) a decision support module that is designed to be
able to interface to multiple EMRs (and could, potentially, be useful to
OHF as it develops). It interfaces with the clinical information system
through a HL7 CDA document based patient summary.

TAPAS (www.opentapas.org) is a targeted clinical information system that
will help family physicians share patient summaries while on call. It
is based on the electronic medical summary standard here in BC -
www.e-ms.ca. We are building a locally installable (although internet
accessible) server that is designed to hold patient summaries for the
call group and share them both through a desktop client and through a
syncable PDA viewer so that physicians will have them while on call.

Both projects rely on the CDA standard and, therefore, the RIM. EGADSS
is also using Arden Syntax for the guideline model.

For TAPAS we have looked at the Eclipse plug-in architecture and have
been planning to move, through our iterative development process,
towards that over time to allow for from interesting growth in features.
Using / supporting a more health specific framework would definitely
be a good thing as well.

If you have any information, or a place where I and other members of the
team may get involved in some discussion (apart from this newsgroup),
that would be great.

Thank you

Morgan

I expect to see a revised proposal posted this week..it will have a lot more
specific information about what OHF is trying to do, a swag at development
schedules, what's in/out of scope, etc. Given your interests I think this
is actually the newsgroup to be on. Although like most projects early
discussions happened in other media, we are trying to move them all to this
newsgroup.

In particular we would appreciate your feedback on the new proposal. I'll
put a post up here when it's done..but this week for sure. If you decide
you'd like to participate by all means let us know.
