OpenHRE(tm) Community Contributor Kiki Nocella Cites Low Open Source Cost

March 30, 2009, Washington D.C. - In a Goverment Health IT article on Sen. Jay Rockefeller's ARRA ammendment to compare the total cost of ownership of open source and proprietary health IT systems, Kiki Nocella, chief executive officer of Believe Health, a health consulting firm, cited her work with the East Kern County Integrated Technology Association (EKCITA) rural regional health information organization in Tehachapi, California. EKCITA took the open-source route featuring Browsersoft Inc's OpenHRE™ software.
“On the whole, the open source approach was less expensive ... than the proprietary approaches,” she said.
Open source allows for greater customization, an important feature for underserved communities, Nocella said. Smaller, rural communities are not smaller versions of urban centers, she noted, but have requirements that might be unique to the community. In contrast, a vendor of proprietary systems tends to scale their offerings to fit the price point of rural customers. But that method can eliminate important health IT features.
Although the ARRA study might mark a greater federal interest in open source, projects such as Tehachapi’s were already on Washington’s radar. Over the course of the project, its team met with officials from the federal Office of the National Coordinator of Health IT. “Part of what they found intriguing was the efficiency” of using open source to build the project, Nocella said.
