What is the difference between an EMR system and a Hospital Information
System?

Hey Michael,
You may wish to post your fascinating talk ideas to the local BSD User
Group ("ocbug [ at ] ocbug [ dot ] ca" <ocbug [ at ] ocbug [ dot ] ca>) and/or get involved with the
OSCAR EMR user and/or development communities. A bunch of those
topics are very relevant to them đ
I am not currently aware of any open source Hospital Information
Systems in Canada but.. one day.
Cheers,
Katie

topics for a meeting some time?
Is it hard to figure out how to make a simple online forum that is
behind a login wall on the internet, possibly on a server one has
oneself, instead of someone/ other sites server? Similarly, some of
the... alternative social media... like mastodon, diaspora... are
supposedly designed... partly open sourced... and so people can ...
host their own... kind of 'servers', that they can control...
including shared files etc, connect with their own associates with...
but also still have some accessibility to others and other of that
social media service servers that others are on and hosting... so they
can kind of communicate between... servers... does anyone know much
about this, or is willing to do some talks about this? Also, things to
do with changes in Canadian laws to do with... freedom, information...
gathering, rights, disclosure, ie anyone with a podcast now has to
register with the Canadian government, facebook not letting people
share Canadian news over their social media, stuff with Julian Assange
(it was said supposedly online that he may have gotten released to go
back to Australia or something? Can anyone confirm this?) ... anything
Mgeist Michael Geist has been writing about in articles about canadian
laws technology etc changes etc freedom... the possibly... making so
everyone's health info from ANY health provider... currently in Nova
Scotia started so all of this needs to be available to the Canadian
government, supposedly to make sure people aren't defrauding people
with their treatments etc, as well as... potentially sensitive mental
health info being... in 'supposedly secure' online databases that...
clandestine elements will definitely have and make sure to use their
unofficial access to ...as might have further implications related to
project like... well google and darpa etc behaviour etc prediction
projects (and monitoring) and via cambridge analytica etc ...
profiling people, manipulating, controlling, maybe partly mind control
but so unbelievably advance with so much processing power and data
that people will probably almost never be able to tell its happeing,
let alone... protect themselves or see it's happening and prove it or
stop it etc... for most people I would say... walmart and other
corporations literally... do some of this sort of processing for their
own financial and corporate interests... let alone... suffice it to
say this is not necessarily limited to extreme cases of national
security that are being carefully vetted by judges and or other human
beings on a case by case basis at this point, but being automated to
be distributed everywhere and only... transparent and accountable (to
the extent interest decide they prefer to do this at all) to very
select interests, possibly with a lot of national etc bias... and then
how some of this relates to... mainstreaming things like... MAID
'Medical Assistance in Dying', the potential of climate change and
huge economic... crises... including some that may be intentionally
generated with plausible deniabiility while interfering with
reasonable actions by the public to mitigate and make changes to
reduce the harms in order to cause... crises which justify...
disenfranchising many, removing/ shifting the social net
significantly, etc (potentially) ie can't help poor or disable or old
people as much in a supposed crisis so a massive purge during crisis
with the crisis being... covertly... kept from being managed
collectively effectively by less ... centrally integrated and
finanical and power brokers in order to do things... a little bit like
how the pandemic destroyed small businesses all over the world and
allowed bigger businesses, if they decided to keep certain services or
products available, to basically buy them up excessively cheaply etc
(...'some people are in a position to massively profit from
potentially crises if they just watch this webinar and do the thing x
that serves the status quo of certain currently powerful people etc...
' ads etc eheheh :/ )
I know some of this is reaching outside of technical linux focus...
freedom of communications, and maintaining secure communications over
the 'open internet' in an age of unimaginably powerful AI running
around by various interests... and maybe alternately... securing ...
not on the open internet community intranets (and keeping them 'off'
the public open internet, if people prefer'?)
for those who might not want to buy into starlink, etc... are there
any ... retro communications that... people might still like in a
crisis or something? are there like hand held radios or devices like
phones that can run on some kind of free open source linux through
just local band radio that would be allowable, practical, cheap,
legal, effective for some communications if people wanted (or believed
they needed) to do this? Does just mentioning these where they may
be... put on the public internet and archived and available to be
harvested by the powers that be... put any... adaptive measures to...
corrupt concentration of power and destroying peoples' personal
freedoms... does it potentially... undermined the potential to do
anything about these things by talking about them this way... so
that... measure to ... countermeasures to any possible privacy or
security people might try to make are likely to be implemented etc,
and their... and peoples' potential dissent, let alone resistance...
to various... agenda of powerful, including taking away some essential
freedoms, rights and coopting / messing with legal systems and
structures meant to protect against this, etc? that peoples' intent,
whether on places like this forum, or through their own personal
digital communications, being in proximity of devices, possibly
belonging to someone else... will cause this information to be in a
'profile' about them that will have... 'consequences' etc?
Is it ok that I put these... questions and thoughts plaintext in this
email?
Blessings, thank you for allowing me to continue to be connected to
this group and explore some ideas around open source, free
accessible... technologies to empower people... especially the linux
open source operating system...
Michael Goguen
ps are any folks here fans of national capital freenet nonprofit
internet service provider here in Ottawa?
Do any folks from here... value the idea of partnering with the or
like collaborating etc sometimes... on various projects?
For instance, making wifi more available in some low income areas, or
like cheap devices like phones etc, or even... connecting with the
Ottawa Library and similar public resources in order to... support
various programs to ...help various public who are interested in...
certain low budget sort of 'communal' resource sharing for like
enabling... especially less affluent folks to ... help themselves and
others on a low budget/ minimal means and training etc?
ok sorry maybe I'm rambling a bit here now.
thanks in advance.

We didnât really have any discussions on topics on a July 4th meeting.
I might have something, but nothing definite yet. Iâve been a
little busy and on training the past week and a half.
Does anyone have a topic they would be interested in presenting? I
know that John and Tug will not be available.
Cheers,
Scott
