I met others in Health IT at an open space session at PyCon. "Health IT" is a big umbrella, so I'd like to hear more from each of you on your interests and work. I imagine we'll have a lot of common ground in interop (HL7 came up during the open space session), but I'm personally open to most any topic. I'm working on a team which makes practice management for midwives.

I'd like to start a general Introductions thread which can be used ongoingly (not PyCon-specific in other words); that way, people looking at the archives can more easily find the introductions, and will know where to go to introduce themselves. Would you be willing to re-post your intro in the upcoming Introductions thread? Let's use this thread to followup on our PyCon discussion. Here are some of the things we talked about, and each may require a separate discussion thread * The need for well-maintained libraries for HL7 and CCD * The mailing list for general open source IT (not Python-specific) * A new open source medical expert system (I'm still looking for the URL) What did I forget? We also did a round of introductions in the PyCon session...hopefully those can be recapped in the upcoming Introductions thread.

My IT day-to-day with python includes middleware, web development, system administration and database programing. My pythonic interests include industry standard protocols like NCPDP v5.1/D.0 and ASC X12 (835, 837) and WSGI app development. I've been programming for about 12 years and doing python for 10.

A year ago I started working with the Healthcare Flows group at CRS4, a research center in Sardinia, Italy (http://www.crs4.it/healthcare-flows). Our group is mainly focused on clinical systems integration, traceability, semantic management of biomedical data and distributed medicine; we're involved both in research and collaboration with hospitals and healthcare companies. During the year, as I started collaborating with the group, we increased the use of Python, utilizing it in an industrial project at all levels, from the implementation of an abstraction driver for custom laboratory automation machinery to web-based lab applications and IHE-compliant message dispatching. I intend to submit a talk proposal for the upcoming Europython 2011 (http://ep2011.europython.eu/), about this interesting use case: I think it'd be nice to briefly describe the state of the art of Python in HIT as well, and I'd really be interested in hearing your suggestions about that. Also, is someone from the list attending the conference? -- Federico
