A while back I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Shihadeh, vice president, Microsoft Health Solutions Group and we talked about the varied solutions of Amalga and HealthVault.  It looks like there’s a star studded group of healthcare speakers lined up for the meeting. 

Here are a few posts from not too long ago that speak of some of the other items that could be on the agenda, like the Common User Interface, would this not be every doctor’s dream to only have to learn one set of screens for data input instead of many if on staff at more than one hospital.  I spoke with one individual that had to learn 5 different systems to complete his internship!   The Common User Interface has some nice Silverlight effects too, making it easier to switch back and forth to different areas of a medical chart.

  1. It is very important to stay on top of your health and have a check up at least once a year to ensure that you remain healthy. Many health problems are curable but you need to catch them in time. Do not wait to go see a doctor because it may be too late.

  2. Don't wait for the doctor. You need to build on your own..One must strive for a diet high in vegetables, dairy and whole grain products.
