Debian Med: Hospital Information Systems

The list below includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in which can sensibly add to a high quality Custom Debian Distribution.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the mailing list.

VistA (DHCP)
http://www.hardhats.org/
License: Public Domain
Debian package not available
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 out-patient clinics, 131 nursing homes, and 39 domiciliaries. 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 working on expanding and supporting this code-base now known as VistA.
