The Ministry of Health of Israel wishes to implement OpenEMR in some of its many facilities.
Matrix (http://www.matrix.co.il/en/) was selected to implement the system.
The project requires many changes and additions to the system, e.g. full RTL support and localization to Israeli standards and protocols, UX and infrastructure upgrades, support for various specialized clinics such as mammography and dialysis (including new forms and reports), communication with medical equipment and scanners and so on.
We plan to make those investments available to the community to help improve OpenEMR.
What would be the best course of action to jumpstart this endeavor?
We would like to emphasize that we are on a tight schedule and that the community’s involvement can more than help make this project a success.
Yaron,
Thank you for posting. This is great news and I’m sure the OpenEMR community and the Vendors and developer’s that contibute here would be happy to be involved in this project.
I suggest that Matrix should contract one of the primary vendor contributors to act as consulting and integration, project coordination with the OpenEMR community.
Can you provide any additional information on the interfaces you wish to
establish with various medical devices. For example do they currently
support communication using HL7 2.x, HL7 v 3.x, CCDA, DICOM, FHIR or
some other published standard?
If the devices support a proprietary interface do the device manufactures
provide a SDK or IG?
