Subject: Re: Medical Banking Project PoC
Hello to all - This is an unofficial notification to all of a new, cross-industry Proof of Concept, directed at the healthcare challenges we currently face as a nation. I am sending this out in response to a large number of requests for information. There will be official notification and press releases sent from the Medical Banking Project and the OASIS ebSOA group a bit later, after some housekeeping items are taken care of. The PoC will take the form of a shared, public, long-running (or always-on) business process, hosted on a trusted third party, protected network. Electronic Health Records, as the basis of the system, will be hosted as bank accounts are hosted, with transactional messaging based on open standards between all participants. Pub/Sub and private/public process integration will be accomplished via open standards. Nearly the entire software architecture will be open source, with the exception of XML Firewalls. Major employers are expressing interest in funding and participating in this effort, as they will be the recipients of improvements, including: increased access to care, more timely and accurate information regarding health history and current conditions, real-time e-prescribing and pharmaceutical interaction analytics, preventive intervention care portals and eventually, improved health individually and as a community for the employees. The result, after deployment, will be dramatically lowered costs for all concerned. OASIS and WS-I specs, including BPSS 2.0 will be used. My understanding of BPSS 2.0 is that the model is very robust, and capable of the somewhat complex decision trees, forks and long-running-transaction characteristics we have targeted. Please be aware that we are in the process of creating a formal Proof of Concept - that it will be a combined effort with a large number of parties, and that the Medical Banking Project will be the primary organizational location for the activity. John Casillas (Exec. Dir at http://www.mbproject.org) has been articulating his vision, and putting his considerable energy behind these ideas for more than a decade. He has now gathered a "political power center" that has the attention and intention of dozens of significant participants across the entire problem domain. The model created by MBProject, specifically of enabling better access to care through organized charitable donations, and movement of digital cost savings into mechanisms to assist under/un-insured, is destined to change the face of medical coverage forever. David Webber, Tom Dean (CEO at http://wwwCriticaltech.com) and myself are putting our "technology power centers" to work in conjunction with MBProject, to bring large-scale SOA concepts to the healthcare industry. Please also keep in mind that one of the hallmarks of this effort is the requirement for interoperability, due to the wide cross-section of industries involved. We will be constructing a backbone that is capable of output/input in multiple BOD formats, and capable of calling private business processes that are based on eprXML, BPEL, BPML or other, and we may find it necessary to use a combination of any. This will be a comprehensive proof of interoperability that will involve every participant role that participate in the healthcare processes, as we have currently identified them. We have interested parties, at least one of every participant type, that we are securing commitment from regarding their intention and capability to participate. Persons and groups interested in participating should send notification to john@crossconnections.ws and johnc@mbproject.org (both please). You should be prepared to participate in periodic conference calls and input into the construction of the open standards shared process. If there are web services available (ebXML or WS-I based) to connect to the shared process, please also indicate that in the email. All participants and interested parties are encouraged to join the Medical Banking Project. The fee is nominal, the members are significant and the rewards are great, in more ways than one. For information, contact John Casillas at johnc@mbproject.org or http://www.mbproject.org/services-portal.php I will be keeping a constant information channel running through the IHC and ebSOA groups, along with an RSS feed from the http://www.crossconnections.ws website.
