Hui 7
|
|
The Hui 7 were a team assembled and funded by The Pacific Telehealth & Technology Hui (PTTH) to convert the Veterans Administration's VistA electronic medical record to a platform suitable for private use. PTTH obtained the VistA software package through a Freedom Of Information Act request. The Hui 7 were: Project Manager, David Whitten; Senior Engineer, Brian Lord; Kernel Developer, Rick Marshall; Engineers, Steve Shreeve, George Welch, and Chris Richardson; and Documentation, Dee Knapp. Steve Shreeve went on to become the Founding CEO and a Director for Medsphere Systems Corporation. In 2006, Shreeve and his brother Scott Shreeve entered into a dispute with MedSphere over the company's refusal to release its electronic medical record to the Open Source community. The company filed suit against the Shreeve brothers, but the parties have resolved the issue. Brian Lord started a company in 2004, called Sequence Managers Software, which produces and markets an Open Source electronic medical record system built around the VA's VistA system. The six members of the Hui 7 (excluding Steve Shreeve) still actively work together on various projects.
