Re: Browser Based EMR's Threaten Software Freedom
by Ignacio H. Valdes, MD, MS on Wednesday June 20, @10:20AM

False. LAN based applications take no more and no less bandwidth than anything else. Moving a bit is moving a bit whether it is a browser or a RPC call. You can argue that Browsers have been optimized for certain things, but so can client-server applications. EMR applications such as VistA are client-server based and very optimized for low-bandwidth service. For now at least VistA's CPRS client can do things that browser-based applications cannot.
