OpenMRS coverage

A few months ago I wrote about OpenMRS, an excellent open-source project that is enabling hospitals and medical practices in developing countries to automate medical record-keeping, built using Pentaho technology including mondrian.

So it was good to hear a radio segment about OpenMRS on PRI's "The World" this afternoon, including an interview about how it is helping a hospital in Haiti. You can listen to it via Clark Boyd's blog.

Julian --

Thanks for the shout out. We're not NPR, though. We're PRI. I know, I know. But PRI makes me correct it...

Keep up the good work, Clark. It's great to hear about open source on the radio, and in particular when it's making the world a better place. Too often it's just "such-and-such open source company just went IPO", as if Wall Street were the only thing that matters. It's certainly not why I do it.

Thanks for the correction re PRI. I've fixed the blog entry.
