Collaborative Software Launches Public Health Application and Community
Posted on: Thursday, 18 September 2008, 09:00 CDT
Collaborative Software Initiative, a company that brings like-minded organizations together to work collaboratively on software at a fraction of the cost, has launched TriSano, a public health application and community.
According to the company, TriSano is an open source, citizen-focused surveillance system for infectious disease management. It is designed so that it can be expanded to cover environmental hazards, bioterrorism, and outbreak management.
TriSano allows local, state and federal entities to track, control and prevent illness and death. It also provides a forum where subject matter experts and software developers work together to create these critically needed public health software applications.
With TriSano, subject matter experts in the public health community collaborate on solutions that meet the requirements of their specific state government and local health programs, fulfilling the promise of protecting their citizens, while remaining compliant with mandates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Collaborative Software Initiative.
Stuart Cohen, CEO of Collaborative Software Initiative, said: "Public health software has traditionally been built from the top down, not from the bottom up. The TriSano project puts the power into the hands of the people who are dealing with infectious disease, bio-terrorism and the spread of air/water/food-borne illnesses - all of which pose a significant threat to the health of our country. They are the ones who have a real stake in improving this process and with TriSano they now have influence over how these life-saving applications are created."
