Open Health Tools Accepts Major Code Donation From California HealthCare Foundation
Monday, August 11, 2008 9:26 AM
The SBCCDE ceased operations in 2006, but it spurred the federal government’s adoption of a plan to establish regional health information organizations (RHIOs) throughout the United States. Jonah Frohlich, CHCF senior program officer explained, “Our experience taught us that these exchanges can improve quality and access to vital clinical information when and where it is needed. With the potential for cost reduction, we hope that more clinics and practices in underserved communities take advantage of open source products.”

CollabNet lowers the barrier of entry for global organizations to collaborate, code share and co-develop software and technology standards. CollabNet’s secure environment and software development platform allows projects and project teams to ramp up in days rather than weeks.
