While the shift to browser-based EMR/EHR applications is very much apparent, the argument that this trend endangers FOSS just does not follow. There's no evidence to support the claim. The one argument that Dr. Valdes puts forth so strongly is very flawed - practitioners do *not* necessarily lose control over the data. There is nothing preventing a practitioner from installing an internal webserver accessible only to the local practice. Dr. Valdes even makes this argument in the second to last sentence of this article. To his list of FOSS EMR/EHR software, I would add OSCAR from McMaster University in Canada. |
