IBM researchhas recently published a paper on their Hippocratic database. With reference to their declared interestin applying the methods of Open Source to the domain of healthcare IT-system development, I wonder if IBM could be interested in sharing this resource with the health informatics community. If so, I believe the Hippocratic database would foster the development of a vital health informatics open source community that quickly would add value to the application.

Quality Aims for the 21st Century Health System
Rod points to a new report from the US National academy of sciences. Recommendation 5-1a. The federal government, in partnership with the private sector, universities, federal laboratories, and state governments, should establish multi-disciplinary centers at institutions of higher learning throughout the country capable of bringing together researchers, practitioners, educators and students from appropriate fields of engineering, health sciences, management, social and behavioral sciences to address the quality and productivity challenges facing the nation’s health care delivery system.
