Abstract

2007 proved to be the year that open source crossed over into healthcare. Beginning with the first ever open source track at SCALE, to Red Hat’s Healthcare Linux announcement at HIMSS, through multiple companies declaring their open source intentions, the penguin has arrived with a stethoscope in hand. Dr. Shreeve reviews the natural synergy between open source and health care and takes a behind the scenes look into how a wide range of health care companies can, should, and are making open source an essential part of their health care strategy.
