Health Information Technology (HIT) and Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) go hand in hand. In other words, finding FOSS to work with HIT is in itself a HIT!
HIT is going to be of real value to the Healthcare Industry as a whole, and this is an area where everyone must be inquisitive about.
WHY everyone?
Because everyone will have a health encounter if one lives long enough. This will mean that your health record will become digitalised in the future. Hopefully it will not be posted in a blog....
:-)
There are other areas of interest like research, audit and continuing education. This area is where HIT has an even more important, and les controversial role.
This blog will be mostly on this stuff, but you never know, because I have some friends who do influence me.....
