I’m losing sight of the purpose of this blog, I’m not sure if it is a public voice or just somewhere I can keep tabs on activities and stories that interest me.
Here is a story that appeared in New Zealand’s ComputerWorld that talks about SIMPL, or as we know it inside Microsoft the “Health Connection Engine”
The technology provides a secure and standards-based interoperable approach for exchanging patient-related documents between any healthcare provider, says Medary.
The software can for example enable “eReferrals” between GPs and hospitals; the sharing of radiology reports and x-rays; transferring electronic prescriptions between hospitals and pharmacies; and the ability to share and immediately access a person’s current medication and allergies, should they seek emergency care, he says.
It is great to see a Kiwi company on the world stage.
Did I mention that I’m on the verge on moving to Wellington?
