Misys
Leads Healthcare into Open Source
Misys says it's going to make good on its promise to open source
components of its proprietary Connect Healthcare solution at the Southern
California Linux Expo in Los Angeles
today.
It expects new products and cheaper prices out of the
exercise and maybe even improved healthcare delivery.
It intends to work with the community on systems
interoperability and has hired Ryan Bloom, a founder of the Apache Portable
Runtime project and a major contributor to the Apache HTTP 2.0 project, as its
new development director.
It has also set up a new Open Source Solutions Division
under general manager Bob Barthelmes.
Misys software is used by 100,000 doctors in 18,000 practice
locations and by 600 home care providers.
