it may interact. Plans are to expand it so you can enter a list of drug
names and have the program run a check for interactions against the entire
list.

using a variety of algorithms. Additionally, CTSim has a wide array of
image analysis and image processing functions.

the project is the Debian distribution of GNU/Linux. Debian-med is a subset
of that distribution specialised for medical applications. As a byproduct,
the project is expected to integrate many existing projects by installing
them in the same distribution. Open source health care products included
in Debian-med will also be distributed in the full Debian GNU/Linux system.
DHCP / VISTA This
is almost certainly the largest collection of open source health care software
worldwide. The DHCP (Decentralized Hospital Computer Program) project was
started in 1982 by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. As of 1994,
the VA operated 173 medical centers, 389 outpatient clinics, 131 nursing
homes, and 39 domiciliary. In 1995, DHCP was nominated for the Smithsonian
award for best use of information technology. Because this software was
developed by and for the U.S. Government, the source code is largely in
the public domain. Several dozen other institutions have implemented systems
based on the VA source code. There is an active developer community at
www.hardhats.org working on expanding and supporting this code base now
known as VISTA.

GLIMS) Gnosis is planned to be an open source, OS independent
Laboratory Information Management System. The target market is small through
huge laboratories in need of a powerful, simple to use and infinitely configurable
LIMS.
Gnotary
is an e-mail service to help prove that medical (and other) records have
not been modified after a certain date. As opposed to handwriting and chemical
changes of ink and paper over time, digital records can be altered without
leaving a trace, even serial backups on CD-ROMS can be made retrospectively,
so it might have little value in court. You simply email a message to any
notary server, and pronto - an email comes back with a digital signature
certifying that your email has been received at a given date. If you alter
the content of the original email, the verification of the signature does
not work any more.
GNU
Medical Record Project This work involves the design
and implementation of decentralized, web based medical record systems.
Current application packages: 1) A prototype patient record system, 2)
A hierarchical medical record browser, 3) A relational data base medical
record browser, 4) A patient data collection instrument. The applications
packages are written in an enhanced dialect of the Mumps language which
includes support for web server development and SQL server storage of the
data.
HAPI
(HL7 application programming interface) is an open-source, object-oriented
HL7 parser. The main distinguishing feature of HAPI is that it uses specific
Java classes to represent each HL7 message structure. This allows it to
enforce the structural validity of your messages when you compile your
code, and to enforce the validity of field data at run time, with Java
Exceptions. Source code for messages is generated automatically from HL7's
database of standard messages.

cares to implement the same library in another language (python perhaps)
I will add a contrib. section to this package and happily include it as
well.
International
Classification for Diseases (ICD-9 & ICD-10) There
are two related classifications of diseases with similar titles. The International
Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the classification used to code and
classify mortality data from death certificates. The International Classification

morbidity data from the inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices,
and most NCHS surveys.
iPath - Telemedicine
Framework is an open source framework for building
telepathology/telemedicine applications. At the core is the open source
iPath-Server, an extsible telemedicine database sever with a web based
interface. The iPath Server provides something like a medical discussion
forum, where cases can be easily presented to others, discussed and commented
within dedicated user groups. Besides a case database, iPath also provides
additional modules. E.g. with the remote microscopy module you can remote
control a motorized microscope over internet (currently iPath supports
Leica Mikcroscopes and will soon be adapted to Merzhaeuser stage controller)
As iPath is a very flexible system there are many different possibilities
of using it. * Discuss difficult cases within dedicated user groups. *
Collect different information of one cases from different sources. * Connect
your microscope to the Internet and share it with others. * Provide feedback
to senders of specimen by presenting them images of i

Presurgical
Pre-Surgical Patient Questionnaire
Project
Odyssée The Odyssée project is the open
source release of portions of the Nautilus project. Nautilus has a lexicon
of 35000 medical terms linked into a semantic network representing medical
domain knowledge. The network is used to guide an interaction dialog with
a physician to record notes in structured form. Such structured notes are
used to generate standardized text progress notes. The expert domain knowledge
represented in the semantic network can speed data capture by focusing
the interaction on relevant topics at each point in time. Recording medical
records as semantic structures rather than text has many advantages, such
as less ambiguity, language independence, and greater amenability to medical
reasoning (assistant) technologies. This site is in French.

client/server applications or batch processors very easily. This site also
contains a wealth of information about implementing HL7 aware open source
applications and links to the most recent HL7 modelling work.

intention to convert this image database into a knowledge base. This knowledge
base will form the foundation of a digital network based teaching system
for the whole of medicine at every level: the "Virtual Medical School".
It is based heavily on free software (Apache-Cocoon).
