Development of open EMRs/EHRs

John Halamka posted a refreshing entry about development of APIs that allow easier integration with EMRs and EHRs. Since I have been concerned in recent blog entries about how EMRs, EHRs and HIEs will integrate this was refreshing news.

I am going to dive in and examine some of the technologies described: XDR, XDM and XDS.

Some other initiatives I found that promote development of open healthcare technologies:

• ihe – integrating healthcare enterprise
• oht – open health tools
• ohf – open health framework
• openehr
• openmrs
