Yesterday I returned to Buenos Aires from my European tour. It was a very productive week in Geneva and Barcelona, talking about MEDICAL with colleagues, partners, and organizations interested in implementing and joining the MEDICAL project. We also talked about the next version of MEDICAL, Tryton and OpenERP.

Angel, Albert Cervera (Nan Tic) and Luis Falc贸n in Barcelona

 

Nice dinner with the NaN tic guys. We talked about the OpenERP community, and the need of having a governance in Free Software projects without censorship  or being partial. We all see today how speculators are getting into the “open source” and the techniques they are using to lock-in users.

As I said in an interview last year in OpenERP ( http://www.openerp.com/node/549 ), at the end of the day, is your actions what counts, not the tools that you use. By the way, I hope this interview remains there and won’t be censored, as my latest emails 馃槈

Cool street names in Barcelona 馃檪

Finally, I had the chance to go and support the “Indignados” demonstration in Plaza Catalu帽a, against politicians and private companies responsible of the crisis that we – as the community – have to suffer.

“Indignados” demonstration in Barcelona

After all, greed puts at risk the development and dignity of communities. The same greedy hands are the ones destroying societies and the free software projects.

Luckily, these people in Barcelona and in the rest of Spain, as well as the free software advocates,  have the conviction to fight for our dignity and future.

Tenemos grandes noticias para los defensores del Software Libre !!

Hemos empezado a trabajar en la ampliaci贸n de MEDICAL en apoyo de Tryton ERP. Tryton es un ERP con una gran filosof铆a del Software Libre, no s贸lo por tener el c贸digo fuente libre si no tambi茅n para tener una pol铆tica de NO LOCK-IN. Esto es lo que vamos a conseguir:

聽
– Libertad de elecci贸n: ahora el usuario tendr谩 total libertad en el Sistema Operativo, Base de Datos o ERP. El usuario podr谩 elegir entre OpenERP o Tryton.

– Upgrades Garantizados: MEDICAL debe basarse en una arquitectura que permita al usuario actualizar su infraestructura. Los usuarios y los centros de salud deben poder contar con las herramientas de actualizaci贸n y documentaci贸n para actualizar el sistema operativo, base de datos y ERP sin costo si as铆 lo desean. Es por eso que lo vemos en GNU / Linux, PostgreSQL y Tryton. Este esquema garantiza que el usuario final tenga la versi贸n m谩s actualizada de MEDICAL.

– Independencia del proveedor: Nosotros, como comunidad, para el futuro de MEDICAL (o de cualquier otra soluci贸n de software libre) no podemos depender de un 煤nico proveedor o de un grupo de proveedores. MEDICAL no pertenece a Thymbra. MEDICAL es parte de una organizaci贸n sin fines de lucro: GNU Solidario, que no se puede comprar y no puede caer en manos de especuladores.

– Volver a las ra铆ces: Tenemos que volver a los or铆genes del software libre. Como ya he dicho, no se trata s贸lo de “c贸digo abierto“, sino tambi茅n de comunidad y 茅tica.

Es por eso que ahora creo que tenemos el escenario perfecto para la libertad de elecci贸n, la independencia del proveedor, pol铆ticas de NO LOCK IN, comunidad y聽 evoluci贸n. Estos factores garantizan la continuidad de MEDICAL para la versi贸n actual y para todas las pr贸ximas.

Por supuesto vamos a seguir desarrollando MEDICAL para que tenga la misma funcionalidad en todos los 谩mbitos (OpenERP, Tryton, GNU / Linux, FreeBSD …).

Hoy es un gran d铆a para MEDICAL y para el Software Libre !

MEDICAL Welcomes Tryton !!

From Luis Falc贸n’s blog (http://meanmicio.blogspot.com)

I have great news for the Free Software advocates.

We have started working in extending MEDICAL to support the Tryton ERP. Tryton is a great ERP with a solid free software philosophy, not only for releasing the source code, but by having NO LOCK-IN policies. So this is what we will achieve

–聽 Freedom of choice : Now the user will have complete freedom in Operating System, Database or ERP . The user will be able to choose from OpenERP or Tryton.

– Guarantee Upgrades : MEDICAL must rely on an architecture that allows the user to upgrade their infrastructure. The users and health centers should have the upgrade tools and documentation to update the operating system, database and ERP at no cost if they choose to do. Today we see that concept in GNU/Linux, Postgresql and Tryton. This schema guarantees that the end user has the best and most updated MEDICAL version, as well as the underlining components.

In this sense, we, as a community, will always be vigilant to any lock-in strategy in the underlying software (operating system, database or ERP) that could compromise its sustainability.

Many organizations around the world have chosen MEDICAL to improve the lives of the underprivileged. This community keeps growing because not only because of its technical capabilities, but also because of the free software philosophy behind it.

– Vendor independence : We, as a community, can NOT depend on a single vendor or group of vendors for the future of MEDICAL (or any free software solution for that matter). MEDICAL does not belong to Thymbra. MEDICAL is part of a non-for-profit organization, GNU Solidario, which can not be bought or fall into speculators hands. MEDICAL is a public good.

– Back to the roots : We need to get back to the origins of Free Software. As I said, this is not about only “open source”, but about community and ethics.

I believe that today we have the perfect scenario of freedom of choice, vendor independence, no lock-in policies of any type, community and evolution. These factors guarantee the sustainability of MEDICAL for the current and all the next installations around the world.
聽
We will of course keep on developing MEDICAL so it will have the same functionality in all the environments (OpenERP, Tryton, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD…).

Today is a great day for MEDICAL and for Free Software.

MEDICAL welcomes Tryton !

Pediatric Symptoms Checklist – PSC – in MEDICAL

GNU solidario, medical, openobject

MEDICAL, the Free Health and Hospital Information System has incorporated the PSC to its latest development branch.
The Pediatric Symptoms Checklist – PSC – has been developed by Dr. Michael Jellinek and Dr. Michael Murphy  from the Massachusetts General Hospital.

The authors define the PSC as “a brief screening questionnaire that is used by pediatricians and other health professionals to improve the recognition and treatment of psychosocial problems in children” 

PSC patient section in MEDICAL

MEDICAL uses the standard PSC form – to be completed by the parents – and will include the Y-PSC.

MEDICAL automatically calculates the total PSC score, based upon form values. It also highlights the evaluations that might indicate a child psychosocial impairment.

The PSC cutoff values will be localized to the different countries (Japan, Germany, Holland …), so it will fit their recommended cutoffs.

Sample data of PSC in MEDICAL

I want to thank Drs. Michael Jellinek and Michael Murphy for developing PCS, as well as Sandra Bishop, PhD and Mar铆a Pagano, PhD from further investigating and working on this great system. I specially thank them for making it a free resource, for the well-being of all the childrens around the world. If you use the PSC functionality of MEDICAL in your health center, please send them a note !

Thank you
