RE: [HAPI-devel] anyone familiar with OpenEMed?

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Joe, 

It sounds like a sensible idea to me, but not having any experience with
OpenEMed, I can't really claim to know what I'm talking about.   

The OpenEMed people might have something to say on this subject.  I think
they do have some HL7 functionality.  I dimly recall a conversation with
someone named Richard Schilling a while back -- I think he was involved with
OpenEMed and planning to work on its HL7 code, some of which was already
there.  He was aware of HAPI at the time but I'm not sure if he ended up
using it.  

I haven't met David Forslund, but I think he mentioned HAPI on another
mailing list not too long ago.  Again, very dim memory, I'm not even
completely sure it was him.  The point is that they may have more
intelligent comments than I do :)  

Good luck, it's certainly worth looking into.  

Bryan
