Why Open
Source?
|
|
|
|
Like Linux,
our health record, X-Chart, uses an open source
code. Everyone is therefore allowed to use and modify
it free of charge.
|
|
|
|
The Open
Healthcare Group wants to create a community of people
who share the goal of improving clinical care. This
community will be able to freely use our health record,
X-Chart. This maximizes everyone's access to
the Open Healthcare Group technology. It also makes our
health record truly transferable since any recipient
can freely download the necesarry software. In
addition, as an open source code, we encourage people
to modify and make improvements upon it.

The
commercializtion of healthcare and software has often
led to the development of "corporate
secrets." This has thus stifled cooperation and
advancement in both industries. The Open Healthcare
Group believes that collectively we can work together
to create a health record that will significantly
improve the practice of medicine. We believe,
furthermore, that everyone should benefit from and have
access to this new technology. [Next]
