GNU Health
This is an interview with Dr Tom Kane and his student Euan Livingstone in Tom’s office at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) on 2016-07-06.
Tom and Euan are investigating ways of running GNU Health for evaluation and demonstration purposes, using multiple Raspberry Pi systems and an Intel NUC. In particular they want to evaluate the conformity of interoperability (FHIR) standards, and are trying to build a reference implementation for decision makers who are procuring a Health and Hospital Information System.
In the interview Tom used some terminology that I have provided links for here and at the end:
- LIMS: Laboratory Information Management System
- PACS: Picture Archiving and Communication System
- FHIR: Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
I had forgotten where I’d seen Luis Falcón, originator of GNU Health, being interviewed. It was on FLOSS Weekly, as linked below.
Thanks to Tom and Euan for taking the time to talk to me.
