Open Source Group Picks Guidelines


July 24, 2008

The Open eHealth Foundation will use existing Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise profiles as a guideline for developing open source components for exchanging medical information.

Three vendors--Agfa Healthcare, InterComponentWare and Sun Microsystems--formed the not-for-profit foundation early this year and seek additional members.

Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise is a decade-old multi-stakeholder initiative to create a framework for passing information seamlessly across multiple organizations.

The Open eHealth Foundation has prioritized the initial IHE profiles to be used for open source components. These include the Patient Identifier Cross Referencing/Patient Demographics Query profile and related profiles.
