Latest OIO Enables Medical Forms Over the Web

OIO answers the question: Why get stuck with a system that will not grow with your practice or project? With the latest release of the Open Infrastructure for Outcomes (0.9.3), forms created with OIO and hosted on any OIO server can be downloaded as XML files. This opens the door to the creation of "forms" libraries, where forms can be cataloged, peer-reviewed, indexed, searched, and easily shared on the web. The first public "forms" library is now online at OIO's main site, www.TxOutcome.Org Digg this article

What is the OIO Library?

The OIO Library is more than a file download and management server. It is an integral component of the Open Infrastructure for Outcomes (OIO) that enables collaborative development and distribution of next generation data management tools. The OIO Library manages the "forms", and the OIO Server uses the "forms" to manage data (collected from patients, customers, etc). In flexible and scalable configurations, organizations and individuals can implement OIO systems to serve their particular data management needs. Ultimately, an useful library of forms and other data reporting/analysis tools will be available to further reduce the cost of developing and maintaining web-based software.
