To: Dru Lavigne <dru at osbr.ca>


The November issue of the OSBR is now available in HTML and PDF formats at
http://www.osbr.ca. The theme this month is "Health and Life Sciences" and
Brian Barry and Peter Tanner from Open Health Tools are this month's guest
editors. The articles in this issue include:

Brian Barry, CEO of Bedarra Research Labs and CTO of Open Health Tools
(OHT), covers OHT's planned development of a common platform. In his
article, he applies his experience with the founding of Eclipse to the
problems of interoperable healthcare.

Mark Yendt, Duane Bender and Brian Minaji of Mohawk College describe their
reference implementation of the Canada Health Infoway pan-Canadian
Electronic Health Record Solution. They see the need to involve a range of
partners from both the private and public sector to achieve success for the
project.

Jacob Brauer of WebReach describes the Mirth Project, an open source
healthcare interface engine and interface repository created and
professionally supported by WebReach. Mirth attacks the interoperability
issue directly through providing an interconnecting middleware for health
information systems.

Skip McGaughey, Executive Director of OHT, and Ken Rubin, a senior
healthcare architect, describe the requirement for a more out-reaching
community which encompasses end users, operational users, and developers.

Jon Siegel and Richard Mark Soley explore the relationship between open
source and open standards by examining the results of their interviews of
developers of open source tools based on open standards.

The editorial theme for the upcoming December issue is "Enabling
Innovation" and the guest editor will be Steven Muegge from Carleton
University. Submissions for this issue are due by November 22.

Cheers,
