Nice new tutorial resource on Iguana
Just getting back into the swing of work after my holiday away. While I was travelling, my team put together a great new resource that is part of IGUANA 5.5.6. When you install IGUANA now, you’ll have the option of installing 4 demo channels to quickly get up to speed with how IGUANA works. You […]
Leadership
This is in response to Dave Shaver’s (President of Corepoint Health) comment on my blog. Hi David, Thanks for weighing in. Your comment reminds me of one of the earliest conversations we had where you made much the same point: That it’s not the best technology that wins, but the best marketed one. It was an argument […]
Anyone Who Doesn’t Do this Will be FHIRed. Thank You; Have a Nice Day!
In my post about FHIR + Iguana = Profit I made a passing mention of an important event in Amazon’s history from back in 2002 – give or take a year or so. Jeff Bezos issued a mandate: All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces. Teams must communicate with each other through […]
FHIR in the Hole!
There are lots of places where FHIR shows underlying problems in it’s conception. One of the areas is in how to handle database transactions. It’s a big topic of discussion within the FHIR team of how to handle this. I tried to think of a few constructive ways to solve the problem – maybe flattening […]
Back in Toronto Enjoying a Morning Coffee
So back in Toronto for the week – I’m headed off for a holiday in Europe with my family next week so expect it to be quiet from me over the next few weeks. While I was at the HL7 WGM in Atlanta a lot of new furniture arrived and including the stools for our […]
FHIR Integration Made Easy
At the moment the biggest challenge with FHIR is making it easy to implement a “FHIR server”. It’s easy to write a client to consume FHIR. It gets a little challenging to make a client that can talk to more than one FHIR implementation. We don’t yet have the tooling in place to validate FHIR […]
FHIR Version 1.0
So I think there are some teething issues with FHIR. It got me thinking about an idea I had many years ago which I pitched to the leader of the opposition in Ontario one time. The idea didn’t go anywhere but it really would make sense. If you want to bring a new technology solution […]
What Should FHIR Be? Day 1 of the Atlanta WGM
So I arrived on Saturday and got checked in and joined the tail end of the FHIR Connectathon. It was good to meet Ewout Kramer in person, Grahame Grieve, Lloyd McKenzie again and Dave Shaver popped in for a bit (and there was also some guy from the UK who left before I got his […]
Atlanta Working Group Meeting – May 4th 2013
So I am headed to the Atlanta Working Group meeting along with Rolim, on Saturday May 4th and coming back on Thursday morning on May 9th. If you’re going and you’d like to sit down for a beer, coffee or distilled water – I am not fussy, feel free to reach out. Face to face […]
FHIR: Can It Reduce Interface Costs?
The industry has been abuzz with talk of FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) recently. It’s a subject that’s near and dear to me since it’s a real attempt at advancing the quality of patient care while reducing the cost associated with integration. What is FHIR? If this is your first time hearing about FHIR, I suggest you peruse the first entry in my […]
