(OSScamp Pantnagar witnessed students and campers primarily from technology domain participating on 31st Jan 2009.)

Landscape of IT in US Healthcare is transforming at a fast pace. Be it incentives for e-prescription or 20 Billion USD package for healthcare. Several legislations are being considered for making use (of) IT in healthcare mandatory. For example Blue Cross Shield of Massachusetts made it mandatory for hospitals to use computerized provider order entry (CPOE) technology. IT in healthcare has been dominated by proprietary software companies. Though initiatives to build Open Source EMR / PMS / Clinical research systems can be rooted far back to 2003, it’s only now that Open Source Healthcare applications are catching up. Several Open Source Healthcare companies have developed sound business models that can give proprietary products run for money. To give a further push, major Open Source healthcare companies are participating in Third DOHCS Conference. The focus is twofold, first to demonstrate various Open Source healthcare applications and second to brainstorm, share and build strategies to spread Open Source healthcare applications usage in the Industry. The idea is to build focused multiple collaborative platforms on which cutting edge patient care systems can be woven.
We at OSSCube are currently working with a client to develop CCHIT certified EHR / EMR system based on Open Source technologies using LAMP stack particularly symfony. We are also working with a couple of clients customizing OpenvistA and assisting another client to integrate Practice Management System with EHR using HL7. This year we are participating in DOHCS as delegate. We would showcase some of our development in 4th edition of DOHCS.

DOHCS is scheduled to be held on 20 Feb 2009 along with prestigious Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE). Visit http://www.dohcs.org for more information and register for the event.
The Day begins
The day began with Mohak and Kinshuk leading open house sessions, while everyone waited for Seth and Arun to arrive. People discussed a variety of topics - twitter, Google’s hold on world data, Opera vs Firefox vs Chrome, and stuff.
Once Seth and Arun joined us all, Pascal Finette of Mozilla Labs took us all on a guided tour of the Concept Series. Pascal's emphasis was on increasing participation in the concept series and he encouraged the participants to do the same. The conference call faced some glitches in between, otherwise everything went smooth.
Seth in his talk emphasized on the ways and means of localizing Firefox, while explaining in general what issues exist in Localizing the web. The participation by the fellow campers through the questions and feedback helped in creating an interesting session on l10n and i18n.
Arun then mesmerized the campers with his talk on the open Web and some experimental features of HTML5, especially Canvas and Video Tags. He also gave the sneak peak of a web-based IDE Mozilla is coming up with - "Bespin", which will have a soft launch at Techkriti.
Towards the completion of the event, we managed to catch up with Arun and Seth about what they believe to be the future of the web.
