My primary focus is on healthcare information technology. Among other activities, I provide consulting to physicians' practices regarding the selection, acquisition and implementation of electronic medical records (EMR) systems.
I have spent a good amount of time recently developing so-called web services for linking disparate information systems used by different healthcare entities, e.g. a primary care physician office which needs to exchange clinical data with a specialist office or with a hospital each of which has a different computer system for handling clinical data.
Currently I also do software development such as the project listed below as well as work on software development projects unrelated to healthcare.
This a website/service that I am currently working on that will permit patients to bid on otherwise idle medical imaging equipment, for example to have an MRI scan. Simple concept. See the link above to access the website. This is under development, but there is some basic information at that webpage.
I provide more technically-oriented services. These include
In addition I offer more general types of business-related services: business planning and analyis (see an example of a business plan for a physicians' practice downloadable in text format here to offer its EMR/PM system to small, surrounding practices on an application service provider (ASP) basis), financial analysis, strategic advice, operational improvement services and tax advice.
I generally charge $100/hour for my work, but am flexible in regard to that. I also price on a project basis that shifts as many functions as possible to lower-cost collaborators, so the cost to a client can be considerably below $100/hour.
The website is a constantly-evolving. There is a variety of behind-the-scenes functions available on the server that delivers this website that illustrate web services and provide access to a sample implementation of the OpenEMR EMR system. I will connect a working version of the free and open-source (FOSS) PatientOS EMR/PM system, then possibly a working example of the eClinicalWorks system. Another FOSS system is OpenClinic. I plan to make a version of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs VistA system available as well. VistA and OpenClinic are likewise FOSS.
There is also a lot of other information related to my services, to EMR systems and to the medical services system in general available by clicking the appropriate hyperlinks above.
