| description |
The Tolven open source project is developing:
- An open source standards-based healthcare interoperability platform (Tolven platform)
- An electronic Personal Health Record - built on the Tolven platform for use by consumers and patients as a portal
for accessing personal healthcare information
- An electronic Clinician Health Record - built on the Tolven platform for
use by providers and other healthcare personnel as a portal for accessing patient healthcare information.
The Tolven Institute has adopted an open source and open standards model to
facilitate rapid collaborations with other
open source developers and accelerate the integration of healthcare applications
available in the marketplace. Standards used (in data modelling) include the
HL7 Reference Information Model, the
Continuity of Care Record and the
Clinical Trials Object Model. These
enable Tolven-based applications to facilitate the seamless exchange of clinical,
administrative, research and public health data among users and
support the driving principle behind the design for Tolven software: semantic interoperability.
Technical support for Tolven solutions is available
from Tolven itself and various forums including Sourceforge.
Tolven sponsors WikiHIT, a "a collaborative forum for advancing Healthcare Information Technology", that was
launched in December 2006.
