<br>
Last November I bloggged about the great news for collaboration on
Drools between the US Navy and OSDE (Argentinian health care). This is
with a focus of potentially enabling Drools as an important component
for the Open Source Healthcare <a
href="http://www.connectopensource.org/display/Gateway/CONNECT+Community+Portal">Connect
</a>project, which provides a gateway into <a
href="http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&mode=2&cached=true&objID=1142">NHIN.</a><br>
<br>
Since
then we've had other heath care organisations show an interest in
getting involved at some level. So it made sense that we should
potentially organise another event, similar to last years boot camp,
but specifically for the healthcare community.<br>
<br>
The event will
cover the usual intro into Drools, along with additional talks on the
recent developments of Drools; such as our simulation/testing
frameworks and service frameworks. We would ideally like to keep this
industry and
academic research focused. That means we will need as many third party
industry and academic research talks as possible and break out sessions
to discuss requirements and potential collaborations.<br>
<br>
So whether
you want to come along and tell the world about your research projects,
requirements and ideas or just see what others are up to, or just find
out what Drools is about, this should be a useful event for anyone in
the healthcare industry.<br>
<br>
If this interests you, either as an
attendee or a presenter, then please let me know. The date is quite
soon, tentatively last week of March and at the Duke University in
North Carolina for 3 days.<br>
