(2010-07-23) Oscon Emr

OsCon includes a couple sessions on Open Source EMR systems: Tol Ven, Open Emr, VistA, etc. (Plus other HealthCare ideas: Quantified Self data -> PMR, etc.)

A major problem with many health care standards, including HL7, is the business decision by standard-setting bodies to fund their activities by charging fees that put standards outside the reach of open source projects, as well as ordinary patients and consumers. Many standards bodies require $5.00 or $10.00 per seat. (EHealth Standards)
