Subject: Introduction and background material
In preparation for our meeting tomorrow I am resending a brief intro about myself. Included below are links to a presentation that describes recent work I have done on the subject of our panel. I am Farrukh Najmi, an XML Standards Architect at Sun Microsystems. A brief biography may be found here: http://www.xmleurope.com/2004/bios_in.asp#najmi I work on ebXML Registry, which is a meta data and content management standard. ebXML Standard, which is now an ISO 15000 standard, is being used to enable reliable information management and communication in governments, health care and businesses. Having spent several years in Health care Informatics I believe that standards such as ebXML have the potential to improve our ability to prepare for and manage epidemics. At the last XML 2003 Conference I led a demonstration: Epidemic Management Using OASIS ebXML, UBL and XACML standards: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/presentations/oasis-demo-xml2003.sxi (OpenOffice Slides) http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/presentations/oasis-demo-xml2003.ppt (ppt slides) My organization does not directly deal with Epidemics but one issue I do see from my vantage point is that recent advances in technology and standards are slow to be adopted on a large scale by health care standards organization and institutions. I would like to explore: 1. What can be done to accelerate the adoption of relevant technologies and standards to improve Epidemic Management. 2. How can we better manage Epidemics if technology enabled information to be shared in a timely, secure and seamless manner across enterprise boundaries. Thanks. -- Regards, Farrukh
