# open source openEHR-related EHR systems; How do you want to be cited... **Category:** [Technical (archive)](https://discourse.openehr.org/c/technical-archive/156) **Created:** 2011-12-08 09:02 UTC **Views:** 2 **Replies:** 9 **URL:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/open-source-openehr-related-ehr-systems-how-do-you-want-to-be-cited/15102 --- ## Post #1 by @system Hi! 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!

(please send me a copy of the paper when available) --- ## Post #3 by @Koray_Atalag Hi Erik, I suggest using this one: 1. Atalag K, Yang HY, Tempero E, Warren J. Model Driven Development of Clinical Information Systems using openEHR. Stud Health Technol Inform 2011;169:849-853.[cited 2011 Oct 27 ] Many thanks! -koray --- ## Post #4 by @system Hi, please add this article in press\. Shinji Kobayashi and Akimichi Tatsukawa, Ruby Implementation of the openEHR specifications, Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, in press\. Project site: http://openehr.jp/projects/show/ref-impl-ruby GitHub: https://github.com/skoba/ruby-impl-openehr Shinji --- ## Post #5 by @system Hi Shinji\! 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? Best regards, Erik Sundvall erik\.sundvall@liu\.se http://www.imt.liu.se/~erisu/ Tel: \+46\-13\-286733 --- ## Post #6 by @yampeku This is the description from the project in GitHu \(https://github.com/skoba/ruby-impl-openehr) "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\." --- ## Post #7 by @system Hi Erik and all 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\. Regards, Shinji --- ## Post #8 by @Seref 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](http://opereffa.chime.ucl.ac.uk) is pretty much the only way to refer to the project. For authors, the following list can be used: Sevket Seref Arikan, University College London, CHIME Professor David Ingram, University College London, CHIME Dr. Tony Shannon Consultant in Emergency Medicine, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Clinical Lead for Informatics, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Honorary Research Fellow, University College London Kind regards Seref --- ## Post #9 by @system Hi! Thanks for nice replies, hints and suggestions regarding open source archetype based EHR systems. Is any relevant open source project left out, misquoted or misunderstood in the following formulation: > ...and several open source alternatives that explore different approaches to implement archetype based EHR systems are available. Examples (programming language in parenthesis) are: > · EHRflex [EHRflex], [http://ehrflex.sourceforge.net/](http://ehrflex.sourceforge.net/) (Java) > · GastrOS [GastrOS], [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gastros/](http://sourceforge.net/projects/gastros/) (.NET+C#) > · openEHRgen, [http://code.google.com/p/open-ehr-gen-framework/](http://code.google.com/p/open-ehr-gen-framework/) (Groovy+Java) > · Opereffa, [http://opereffa.chime.ucl.ac.uk/](http://opereffa.chime.ucl.ac.uk/) (Java) > Also, implementations in Ruby [oe-ruby], [http://openehr.jp/projects/show/ref-impl-ruby](http://openehr.jp/projects/show/ref-impl-ruby), and Python [oship] [http://www.oship.org/](http://www.oship.org/) provide components for archetype-based EHR systems.
