Mission fullfilled: Medfloss.org compiled a comprehensive list of over 300 open source projects in healthcare
Hans Demski
Dear colleagues,
in 2010 the Medfloss website was founded with the
mission to provide a comprehensive and structured overview of
Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects in the
domain of health IT. An open and interactive platform was
established where people can add, rank and comment projects.
Considering the actual
results the mission is fulfilled. Medfloss.org currently hosts:
-
315 medical FLOSS projects that can be browsed by application type, enterprise function, standard and popularity
-
103 companies and other institutions that are offering professional service for specific FLOSS projects
-
270 references to scientific publications about the utilization of FLOSS in health care
-
a detailed overview of past and future FLOSS events like the Med-e-Tel 2015 Open Source Village or MEDINFO 2015 Workshop: Free/Libre/Open Source Software on eHealth toward universal health coverage
Our cordial thanks goes to all the contributors that already made and hopefully will continue to make use of the open content concept by revising/extending existing information or adding new content!
For more information about the site and its
objectives please refer to the mission
statement or just visit the Bazaar of Medical Free/Libre and Open Source
Software at Medfloss.org.
Best regards
