Re: Consolidation Proposal: ClearHealth, FreeMED a
by Frank Valier on Wednesday June 15, 2005 @ 01:55 PM
The major benefit I see in this proposal by Fred Trotter to consolidate the open source code of EMR/PM projects is to increase the potential profits of Fred Trotter and David Uhlman. I do not believe that either of these individuals have to knowledge or capability to truly address the needs of health information systems and medical information at this point in time. The ideas put forward by Fred Trotter and David Uhlman benefit them primarily in their effort to secure their position in the market.
I am very suspicious of this type of value system as the source of serving the public benefit. It is impossible to detach their financial interests from their lofty goals. It smells like commercial hyprocracy and they know it. They just want you not to really believe that. But when they sleep at night they are really dreaming about counting their money not looking to improve patients health.

    Frank,

    Can you comment on the merits of the proposal rather than providing negative characterizations of individuals and their motives? This does not advance the discussion, it just poisons the well.
