From agold at healthyhumans.net Sun Oct 18 22:22:43 2009 From: agold at healthyhumans.net (Anthony Gold) Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:22:43 -0700 Subject: [healthcare-wg] OSFA/Healthcare Working Group Message-ID: <8D07161E5B671141806AAC09B71F13323C3D07C487@P3PW5EX1MB02.EX1.SECURESERVER.NET> Dear Colleagues, Thank you for joining me on the Open Source for America - Healthcare working group. There are many exciting developments going on in the open source / healthcare space, and I'm eager to get us together to brainstorm ways we can help drive the momentum forward. To that end, we have this email distribution list to quickly communicate with one another. We also supposedly have a wiki for online collaboration, but I'm not exactly sure how to edit it. I've sent an email to the admin asking for that info. In the meantime, I'll be putting in place a bi-weekly (or monthly) bridge call as a placeholder for us to sync-up "in person". We can either do that as a bridge call (or Skype meeting if all of us have access). Please let me know if you have a preference (bi-weekly vs. monthly, phone vs. skype, etc.) and I'll try to accommodate the majority. I look forward to working with each of you.

Now Anthony, getting to your questions, I think having a call once every two weeks would be good. In my experience Skype doesn't work very well for conference calls unless you have only 3-4 participants, as the host has to call every participant, and re-call them if they drop out, which can be pretty disruptive both at the beginning and during the meeting. I think using a regular bridge would work better for this. If we have less than 20 attendees, Yugma (http://www.yugma.com/) provides a bridge for free.

The number #1 question that I have is "What are you trying to accomplish?" I have been working with various Healthcare organizations, including Surescripts and CCHIT to make their policies better for Open Source projects as "Meaningful Use" approaches. Does this group intend to participate in these kinds of boot-on-the-ground issues with government funding of Health IT technology, or are you interested in doing other higher level things? I have very limited time and I have to invest it where it will have the greatest impact. For this reason I try to avoid agenda-less calls.... -FT -- Fred Trotter http://www.fredtrotter.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am interested in doing what I can. I'll try to join on conference calls. I am at a company called Recombinant Data Corp. We are mainly a clinical data warehouse solution provider taking tools from the NIH for research like i2b2 and caBIG to implement them at AMCs or other institutions but also are working on some other things on the outside of research like MURAL for EMPI, OpenESB for HL7 messaging, Connect for HIEs etc. So hopefully we can help the dialog in some capacity. Can you (or whoever is scheduling) drop a calendar notice to the list? I may have trouble tracking the calls without one.
