excuse me for placing the question here but it seems there is plenty of
competence here :) I've considered adding DICOM support to my imaging
software (www.endrov.net, not ready for packaging yet). which would be
the best java DICOM backend I can plug in (ie actively developed and
source is not a disaster)?
but more interesting - how can open source be properly implemented in
healthcare? how does certification work and is it needed? what *is* used
right now? is DICOM enough or will HL7 be needed? to me the
specification looks sort of like a disaster since it 100% dictates the
design, so I don't even see a point in having multiple implementations
of it.
I don't work in the clinic so it would be nice to get inside contacts.
if I just implement something without a test case it would be crap.
