“Fresno III was recently held to discuss free and open source
medical software….Some of the highlights of the meeting where as
follows:
- Agreement reached that commercial model of software development
in family medicine/general practice has failed. - Continued collaboration and partnership is advantageous.
- A model for patient involvement with the EHR was agreed.
- A framework for further international collaboration has been
achieved, although funding sources remain to be secured. - Specific aspects of primary care computerization needs are
better met in the UK than the USA and vice versa, though neither
fully reflects the concepts identified in GEHR (Good Electronic
Health Record)”
