About the Topic: 

Hospitals and clinics are replacing their paper charts with electronic medical record systems.  That change gives doctors and nurses quick and easy access to your medical information over the Internet.  This talk will discuss the standards that enable this communication, the process by which those standards are formed, and their workflow and security implications.  This will include discussion of standards and implementation profiles from www.hl7.org and www.ihe.net

About the Speaker: 

Michael Donnelly is a software engineer at Epic, a Madison, WI based company that creates software systems for medical groups, hospitals, and integrated healthcare organizations. Michael currently works on Care Everywhere, Epic's framework for cross-system interoperability.
