SUBJECT | Subject: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] Free Software in Brooklyn for a hospital
|
Posted by Fred Trotter on Thursday January 11, 2007 -at- 06:51 AM from the dept. Despite the ongoing legal drama, Medsphere has won business from Brooklyn's Lutheran Medical Center.
The release quotes Dr. Ken Kizer; " With the power of VistA behind it, OpenVista substantially lowers costs, reduces implementation risk, and shortens the learning curve because so many physicians train at VA hospitals. These and other factors offer clear advantages over other commercial EHR systems."
No mention of the term "open source" until the end of the release where the now famous phrase appears again "Medsphere is the leading commercial provider of open source technology for the healthcare industry." Digg this article
