Open-Health Sites and Lists

This is a project list maintained by Informatics Review.

Are you a nurse and interested in the potential of the Open Source movement within nursing and healthcare?

If so, do you want to join a group of like-minded nurses (and other health professionals) to make sure the nursing voice is heard?

The aim would be, similar to the wider Open Source Health Care Alliance (OSHCA), to provide a collaborative forum within which to promote and facilitate open source software in nursing and healthcare. The group would also work with other bodies, such as the IMIA Working Group (provisional) on Open Source, and other relevant organisations in nursing, healthcare, informatics, education, and other pertinent fields.

The Linux Med News site provides news and lists of open source medical projects.

This is a community index using the OIO/Zope software as the method for structuring the information.

This multilingual index still under development is the replacement for this list.

This group maintains a list of freeware and shareware applications for physicians and patients. The site is in French.
