Open Architecture and Standards for Information Systems in Health.

Open Technologies refer to a collection of tools and techniques that contirbute to an open approach towards deveoping and implementing eHealth and health information systems. The hallmarks of the approach are collaboration, standardization, reusability and interoperability.

This video details the OASIS project, an applied example of the open approach. Supported by Connectivity Africa since 2007, the project aims to facilitate the development of free and open source software tools to manage the massive amounts of medical information that health care demands, here in the African context.

It is great to see an open source system implemented and helping so many people. I am from a like minded organization called Open Health Tools. We are building a repository of free healthcare IT software. The software is available as services which fit into an open architecture as if they were kitchen appliances plugging into a wall. perhaps we can share architectural concepts. We have many international members, both companies and countries.
