1100 - 1145 Jules Stein Auditorium Dr. David Chan OSCAR Case Study and Workshop: Implementing and Enhancing an Open Source Primary Care EHR in a Family Medicine Network
OSCAR is a web based, open source application developed using open source tools (Linux, Java, and MySQL). The application provides electronic patient records, integrated evidence based decision support and knowledge links, practice management, and several web-services to facilitate a regional health care network. McMaster University's Department of Family Medicine developed OSCAR in part to address the requirements of the Ontario Provincial Government's Primary Care Reform initiative, a multimillion-dollar initiative to transform primary care in the province. OSCAR currently supports the McMaster Primary Care Network, Maternity Centre of Hamilton and Midwife Group, the Regional Stroke Prevention Centre, and a long term care nursing home.

1145 - 1230 Jules Stein Auditorium Dr. Molly Cheah The Primary Health Care Pilot Project The Primary Health Care Pilot Project is a private sector initiative using open source software to provide primary care practitioners with a web-based clinic and patient management system, complementing the Malaysian Government's Telehealth project. It is being driven by the Primary Care Doctors' Organisation Malaysia (PCDOM), a professional association for primary care doctors or GPs). Funding is from the National IT Council of Malaysia under the Demonstrator Application Grant Scheme (DAGS). An overview of the project will be described to illustrate the development of the application focusing on its conceptual approach, plannning and the processes involved in its proposal and acceptance for funding. Emphasis will be placed on the development of the medical content and the decision support mechanism introduced in the system to address quality in both clinic and clinical management. The development of the "pilot" as a Health Care Network will be illustrated to demonstrate an e-community environment for future deployment of the application, medical content development and training of users of the PCDOM PrimaCare. The application can be accessed at:
http://www.pcdom.org.my/dags/cmss.htm

1145 - 1230 Demo Breakout Open Paradigms and I.T.E.C. The partnership of these two companies combine to demonstrate the hardware and software for a patient accessible electronic health record. This is a completely open source system using a most cost-effective hardware and secure software combination.

1330 - 1400 Jules Stein Auditorium Cason Lee, UCLA

1330 - 1400 Workshop Breakout Etienne Saliez The "Virtual Care Team" Project for General Practitioners
The main objective of the "Virtual Care Team" project is to support more collaboration between all very specialized care providers in charge of the same patient, i.e. the permanent GP and several specialists, when and as long as necessary, as well paramedics and nurses going at home. This is done by mean of shared documents on secured servers, with access rights strictly limited to the directly involved care providers, in function of the specific need of every individual patient. The content includes at least the up to date problem list and the current care plan, and may have any number of relevant multimedia annexes. The role of family doctors focuses on first line care and on coordination across different specialities and across multiple hospitals and private practices. The initial goal is a kind of basic general-purpose shared patient record, on top of which speciality related features could be added later on. The "client" side needs not much more than any usual browser and a security module based on Opens Source tools. Moreover a by-product is epidemiological data collection using the "CISP", the French version of the "ICPC", translated by members of our group. In contrast to many existing telemedicine projects, which are "hospital based", our project is an initiative of a non-profit organization created by GPs. Open Source has been defined as one of the rules of the charter of our organization called CRISNET, "Coordination, Recherche, et Traitement de l'Information en Soins de Santé Primaire - Network ". The following issues will be discussed: - The need of an independent "software reliability certification". - The need to begin to share Open Source components at application level, across different international cultural environments, using a very layered approach and free choices in libraries of relatively small objects. - Natural convergence rather than mandatory standards. - The need of a simple "Iterative Healthcare Model" where "software agents" may be useful.

The initiative integrates components from the GCPR and CHCSII programs into a CORBA based architecture that will enable seamless data transfer between the VA and DoD using a web-based n-tiered application. EsiObjects enables this architecture to be adapted to most M based legacy systems. Additional pilots will implement the OMG Object Query Language to support population health and disease management initiatives, DICOM imaging, XML based medical records and point of care appointing.

1600 - 1645 Jules Stein Auditorium Brian Bray This talk will present the level of use of open source in health care organisations in Europe, as well as an overview of selected research projects and a detailed introduction to PICNIC. As part of the SPIRIT project, a survey of research and care delivery organisations was conducted earlier this year. The results give concrete information on the use of open source technologies and the degree to which these organisation depend on them. The PICNIC project is the largest health informatics research project funded by the European Commission's 5th framework IST programme and it is producing open source components to support a new architecture for regional health care networks. This research programme and national programmes have funded a number of other projects that are starting to deliver concrete open source results.

Tkfp is deployed in a 4 doctor family practice group with over 3000 patient records. It has been deployed this year in a 2 doctor practice in Iowa which is totally paperless. It has, we believe, close to HIPPA compliant user access levels, audit trail, SSL secure network server-client architecture for the desktop GUI interface and an SSL secure web server that can be extended in Tcl/Tk for it's web browser based interface. It comes with installation scripts that make it easy to install on Linux. The database is in XML. We are using XPATH and XSLT for xtracting data and have added capability for SOAP and XML-RPC transactions to the web server. It is also being used for managing insurance claims and billing.

1400 - 1430	Jules Stein Auditorium	Drs. Alex Caldwell & David Pepper	Progress with the Tkfp program and MedMapper Tkfp is deployed in a 4 doctor family practice group with over 3000 patient records. It has been deployed this year in a 2 doctor practice in Iowa which is totally paperless. It has, we believe, close to HIPPA compliant user access levels, audit trail, SSL secure network server-client architecture for the desktop GUI interface and an SSL secure web server that can be extended in Tcl/Tk for it's web browser based interface. It comes with installation scripts that make it easy to install on Linux. The database is in XML. We are using XPATH and XSLT for xtracting data and have added capability for SOAP and XML-RPC transactions to the web server. It is also being used for managing insurance claims and billing.
