Hello there,
I am Sam Habiel, Pharm.D.; Technical Fellow at the Open Source Electronic Health Record Alliance (OSEHRA). I met Tony McCormick at the OSEHRA Summit this year.
Tony told me about the project to create synthetic patients using NHANES data. I am interested as that will help us produce educational and demo instances of VistA. Lack of good demo data is a big issue for our community. I saw that there is big thread on the topic here. If somebody can summarize where you are at right now and how outsiders can contribute, I would appreciate it.
I have another project that I would like collaboration on: I and others in an organization called WorldVistA–are working on creating a public domain high quality drug interactions set. We have made several releases. The latest can be found here: https://github.com/glilly/osdi. You may find this data useful for your EMR. If you would like to use it and support us in maintaining the data, we will be happy to collaborate.
