Linux Magazine covers Linux adoption in Healthcare

The Healthcare industry is…. well, unique. Exploding volumes of data, regulations and compliance issues everywhere, privacy questions abound, highly proprietary legacy applications and data, and not nearly enough budget for new applications compared to budgets wasted on maintaining existing systems. I predict that those healthcare institutions that adopt Linux and push for open standards will gain a competitive advantage. I can’t imagine it any other way.

Linux Magazine covers it here.
