Por Sebastián Marró:
El lunes pasado regresé de Perú, donde fuimos invitados por EsSalud (Dr. Alvaro Vidal Rivadeneyra – Presidente Ejecutivo) en conjunto con la Oficina Nacional de Gobierno Electrónico e Informática (ONGEI) para presentar GNU Health, el sistema Libre de Gestión Hospitalaria y de Salud, en el marco del Encuentro Internacional “Tecnologías de Información, como Herramienta en la Salud e Inclusión Social 2012” realizado en las instalaciones del Instituto Nacional del Corazón (INCOR), en Lima.
  
El Seguro Social de Salud o EsSalud es la institución peruana de la seguridad social en salud. Cuenta con hospitales generales, policlínicos y establecimientos especializados de salud, así como Centros del Adulto Mayor y Centros Especializados de Rehabilitación Profesional. 
Fueron un total de cuatro los días que pasé en Lima. El día jueves fue la inauguración del Evento. Por la mañana se habló de la problemática actual que está sufriendo la institución EsSalud en materia de soluciones TI, mientras que por la tarde tuve la oportunidad de ver presentaciones de casos exitosos en el ámbito internacional entre las cuales quiero destacar la presentación del software para laboratorios Bika Health, a cargo de Johannes Nicolaas Smit (Lemoene) de Sudáfrica y el Dr. Christoph Heinrich Larsen de Vietnam y la presentación de InVesalius, software para la reconstrucción de estructuras del cuerpo humano, a cargo de Jorge da Silva de Brasil.
 
 
El día viernes tuve la oportunidad de dar la primer exposición sobre GNU Health para personal de EsSalud: Alta Dirección, gerentes, jefes de las Oficinas Centrales, personal de Salud e Informática, así como los responsables del conjunto de las redes asistenciales. Como invitados también se encontraban funcionarios del MINSA, SUNASA, MEF, SUNAT, centros asistenciales de la policía y fuerzas armadas, hospitales de la solidaridad.
 
 
Por la tarde nos dividimos en grupos de trabajo donde pudimos entrar en contacto directo con la problemática de EsSalud y contestar diversas inquietudes que los profesionales de la salud e informática nos fueron presentando.

El sábado al medio día pude dar la segunda exposición sobre GNU Health, en este caso el evento estaba abierto al público en general, donde puede explicar las bondades de tener la libertad de usar y parametrizar GNU Health con el fin de adecuarlo a sus necesidades. Tuve el agrado de conocer a Jefes Informáticos de las distintas redes asistenciales del Perú, con los que pude profundizar en algunos aspectos de GNU Health y con los que espero poder continuar en contacto
 
El día domingo pude aprovechar para pasear y conocer la bonita ciudad de Lima junto con el Dr. Christoph Larsen y Lemoene.
 
 
Agradezco en nombre de GNU Solidario a las autoridades de EsSalud por su invitación y hospitalidad, a Alfonso de la Guarda por gestionar nuestra participación en este evento y a Cecilia Contreras por su ayuda con todos los temas logísticos y hacerme sentir tan bien!

GNU Solidario is happy to announce the release of the new stable version of GNU Health 1.4.5


This version has major improvements in patient evaluation and history taking  process, as well as the reporting.  The genetics, lifestyle views have also been updated, among others improvements and bug fixes.

We have also incorporated the initial version of the MDG # 6 module (Millennium Development Goal), to fight against malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. I have started with the TB functionality, with the Lab functionality. If you’re interested in working on this module, please
send us a mail to health@gnu.org

The next version (1.6.0) will be under Tryton 2.4 , and we’re already adapting it. As you know, GNU Health or Tryton comes with the update path, so the health center does not have to worry about migrations !

Please, as usual, test it and report bugs and suggestions in the Savannah !

    GNU Solidario is happy to announce the release of GNU Health 1.4.1, in which we have incorporated support for PyPI, the Python Package Index

    This version is compatible with the latest tryton release (2.2.0). Now GNU Health is also a set of python modules, fully integrated to the Python community.

    Thanks to the magic of pip, and the help of the Tryton community ( Cedric Krier, et al ), installing the latest GNU Health version is as easy as running

    pip install –user trytond_health_profile

    This will install the requirements ( the tryton server and all the standard GNU Health modules ) automatically and in your “$HOME/.local” directory. I will be updating the installation process at the wiki today.
    The main site is the GNU Savannah where all the development and discussion takes place.

    There are many improvements, bug fixes and news features, some of them :

    • CalDav compatibility (it allows complex calendar views and settings for appointments and hospitalizations)
    • Support for JSON RPC protocol
    • Fully Tryton 2.2 compatible
    • Enhanced Medication form
    • New Medicament categories
    • Medication pregnancy category
    • Included the latest WHO essential medicines (17th edition)
    • New translation engine (to be used with .po format)
    • Improve Laboratory model and functionality

    Thanks to all of you for contributing with your code, testing, translating and documenting the project !

    Medical (http://medical.sf.net) has been included in the European Commission Open Source Observatory (OSOR).

    OSOR is the Free Software portal of the European Community to use in the public administrations.

    Now Medical has a local mirror for Europe, with the software as well as local news.


    The EU follows the same steps as the Brazilian government, that have included Medical in the Public Software Portal (Portal do Software Publico Brasileiro ), where there is a community (Medical – BR ) dedicated to the Brazilian localization.
    Corinto Meffe, IT innovation manager from the Brazilian government, will join me  at LinuxCon 2010 Brasil, in the Medical presentation “Benefits of implementing a Free Hospital Information System” 

    Many thanks to both governments to include Medical in their portals and to work on the inclusion of free software in the Public sector.
