I would also throw compliance - in the form of product certification - in as a potential tool for driving standards implementation. Building compliance requirements into tenders, purchases etc. should see vendors put more emphasis on using standards.Lukaszhttp://www.cioblog.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480333.post-26001858890996567872009-01-20T00:18:00.000-05:002009-01-20T00:18:00.000-05:00There is a lot of competition in outsourcing software development, as there are many firms across the globe catering to clients looking for outsourcing their work. What is good is that the takers can choose the best from the lot.<A HREF="http://www.infysolutions.com" REL="nofollow"> http://www.infysolutions.com</A>.webhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186127769812881036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480333.post-28413488583775481882008-11-11T06:16:00.000-05:002008-11-11T06:16:00.000-05:00Well said.Lawandahttp://escondidoinsurance.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480333.post-7622539853489293102008-06-26T12:12:00.000-04:002008-06-26T12:12:00.000-04:00Great post Ken. You covered some real points here. <BR/><BR/>The benefits of open source applications are becoming more and more visible to more decision makers.<BR/><BR/>However, they still all too often have problems of interoperability because they use different data models. Certainly products such as the Mirth HL7 engine being open source helps.<BR/><BR/>There is a set of specifications that has been in development for almost two decades, over a series of research projects with the base mantra of implementation. If it's not implementable then it doesn't work. This is 'real world' interoperability.<BR/><BR/>This at least one commercial implementation and several open source implementations in various states of completion. I am personally leading an implementation geared towards applications such as disease registries, research projects, etc. that will be able to provide inter-operable clinical information on a semantic level. <BR/><BR/>These specifications are available for proprietary and open source development but the majority of application developers of both communities seem to have the NIH (not invented here) syndrome at the front of their development methodologies.<BR/><BR/>Parts of these specifications are already ISO & CEN standards. Other parts are under consideration. <BR/><BR/>I hope that the innovation in these specifications will continue to gain prominence in health informatics and that we will stop re-inventing the wheel. Certainly they are not perfect but the community is open to new input from users and developers. <BR/><BR/>The specifications are available to anyone at http://www.openehr.org <BR/><BR/>I am happy to answer any questions and point people to further information on these very solid specifications.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>TimHI_Researchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019797901088833714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480333.post-21622705521484988532008-05-16T11:17:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:17:00.000-04:00That is a particularly tall order. I don't think it is realistic for one deck to really cover that space. I gave a session at MedInfo which had a few slides that perhaps is a start.<BR/><BR/>- KenKenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09370158622369330855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480333.post-50316067398960667922008-05-12T14:27:00.000-04:002008-05-12T14:27:00.000-04:00Ken, do you have a Power Point that summarizes your views/knowledge on health interoperability?<BR/><BR/>John Frias Morales, Consultant/Lead<BR/>Enterprise Data Services, Analysis & Requirements Team<BR/>Blue d of California <BR/>50 Beale Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 <BR/>Phone (415) 229-6316 <BR/>John.Morales@blueshieldca.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
