I encountered Eclipse about a year ago for development and I was immediately
attracted by its ability to present massive quantities of data quickly and
in a highly customizable fashion. I was also attracted to its very
fine-grained development model and the ability to add (and remove) very
small increments of function to a stable base. I have found that physicians
are by and large vary widely in their record-keeping desires. To use a
common data model (as in HL7) but to use the views and editors to build very
specific presentations of the data to the clinician seems intuitive.

How would I be able to look at the CVS for HL7? I doubt that I have much to
add, I just want to look.

Hi Roy,

Good to hear, some doctors still are brave enough to jump into development
and create solutions for problems (mostly caused by so-called "providers"
or institutions like some social securities, etc. ;-)

Have you actually developed some Java stuff already prior to Eclipse?
And where? US, I suspect.

Though most of my own development (backed by dozens of doctors using those
solutions in their own office or clinics) was based on Microsoft
technologies as far back as 12 years ago, I now also bet on Java and
(where there is enough momentum) Eclipse.

Hi,

To view the work of the HL7 JavaSIG project (HL7 v3 API in Java), you need
to be an active member of HL7. At that point, you can get access to the
version control system by contacting the SIG organizers. Alternatively,
as an HL7 member, you can download a snapshot from the HL7 Members Only
page at www.hl7.org.

Sorry to take so long to answer, I was offline for a while.
You don't say whether you are interested in V2 or V3, they
are quite different beasts.

Either way, there isn't any code - yet. I am working on
code to go into the cvs, and I will announce progress
here when I have some.

in the mean time, there is open source java code:
- v2: hapi at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hl7api
- v3: as in the other response

I think that the OHF code will offer much better tool
chain and application integration (hope, anyway ;-)

code released under the EPL licence in the OHF project on the standard Eclipse cvs.

I also have that on my SF bookmark list, and kept an eye on it some time.

So if you would require help incorporating it into OHF code, I would be
happy to contribute to that.

While the first parts of OHF are more for the Server side and Business

medical office application based on OHF and Eclipse.

Good examples are
JFire: http://www.jfire.org
or
JMoney: http://jmoney.sourceforge.net/

Since JFire tries to be reusable and modular (actually being a base for a
future ticket sales application) some of their approaches to problems like
users, roles, security, etc. seem pretty good for the client side.

JMoney might be more specific to areas such as the Medical Banking
recently added to this project...?

And in case there are affordable Small to Medium Business offerings some
GP especially in remote US or Canadian areas might use it together with a
healthcare solution to visit patients...?

http://www.eclipse.org/community/casestudies/refractionsfina l.pdf

This is NOT a suggested component for OHF in the first place.
However, integration between plugins would make sense, e.g. if a Patient
file may have direct map links to other plugins (or the Web and Google)

Well even though it claims to be more for statistic use than driving
directions, the project is free under the LGPL !

So that makes using it for other pluging of course easier and more
attractive.

And the more statistic nature could e.g. help Eclipse (and OHF ;-) based
Healthcare projects dealing with demographic medical information...

Bioclipse (at SF.net) is probably very specific, but for those who need
that in labs it seems to provide great features.

Nomad PIM (also SF.net) covers principal needs like contacts, notes and
meetings. Which is what a Patient Management System (both for GPs and
Clinics) also requires maybe just specialising the contacts a little
more...?
