Dr Rusty Maynard has posted a Request for Comments document concerning
open source medication management. Specifically in TORCH but in a broad
general sense this paper applies to all open source healthcare
applications.
A copy of his email announcement and (link to the paper) is

David,
We will certainly be glad to access the pharmacological content of drugref, through the proposed API.
However as proposed by Olivier LATIGNIES ( [olovier@dtd.be](mailto:olovier@dtd.be) ), our internal data archictucre will be much more flexible by means of a “network of Items”. In his view DRUGREF should consider that too.
I will not answer to Emails during the next 2 weeks of vacations.
