We now getting the LiU EEE paper “Applying REST Architecture to Archetype-based EHR systems” (by Erik Sundvall, Mikael Nyström, Daniel Karlsson, Martin Eneling, Rong Chen and Håkan Örman) finished for submission, and in a background passage we mention other openEHR based EHR systems (where you can enter and query pateint data) that are open source:
“…the situation has changed to the better and more open source alternatives [opereffa, openEHRgen, GastrOS, oship/MLHIM] that explores different approaches to implement openEHR systems…”
Now, if you are involved one of the mentioned systems [opereffa, openEHRgen, GastrOS, oship/MLHIM], what is your favorite or most up to date paper or other reference that you think describes your system best and that you would prefer that people considered citing in academic papers?
If you feel that we have missed listing an open source openEHR system with non-viral permissive licence, then please enlighten us!

Shinji Kobayashi and Akimichi Tatsukawa, Ruby Implementation of the
openEHR specifications, Journal
of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, in press.
What is ths status of the Ruby implementation? Is it currently an EHR
system where you can enter, store and retrieve EHR data, or is it an
implementation of the RM+AM like the Java ref-impl, that can be used
as a component to build EHR systems?
"This is the beta version 0.9.4 release of Ruby openEHR implementation
project. This release is still experimental preview of our work based
on openEHR specification release 1.0.2. We implemented almost of the
specifications of the openEHR. The work is still in progress. The
intention is to have a sample EHR to utilize all over the world
quickly with Ruby on Rails.
Parser is nearly performing completely. We now consider to descrive
archetype as another formalism such as YAML, instead of ADL.
Almost all classes passed the test constructed by RSpec2 (formaly used
test/unit). These spec files are under /spec.
Some specifications are not well determined yet, such as rm/security
and so on. We postponed to implement such classes.
Terminology and Demographic server will be implemented in other project."
We will release the first stable branch at this Xmass, coming Dec 24.
The status is like Java/Eiffel reference implementation.
Release 1.0 notes:
* ADL 1.4 parser
* Implementation of AOM 1.0.2 specifications(partially 1.1)
* Implementation RM 1.0.2 specification
* Change license from MPL 1.1 to Apache 2.0
We are engaging to develop web based EHR system for sample with
Ruby on Rails.
Greetings,
Opereffa is a project that is used in my PhD work, and it has not been published yet. The url: http://opereffa.chime.ucl.ac.uk is pretty much the only way to refer to the project.
