I am an Internal Medicine physician who also teaches Medical Informatics at the University of West Florida. I will retire from the Navy this summer and spend more time teaching and doing research.

I'll also be releasing the 2009 Medical Informatics: Practical Guide for the Healthcare Professional. It doesn't look like I will be bored in my retirement. I look forward to to discussing issues on the forum with you all.

I have been part of this field for almost all of my career. I have graduated in Computer Science and was part of development of one of the modern day EMR. With focus on providing better and fairly priced solutions, I believe it would not be possible without open source technologies. My experience with working on that project has got me excited to take my learnings even further.

Currently I am part of Indian startup Sushruts, which is developing a modern EMR solution with modern agile practices.

My association with this community mainly is to know more, learn more and execute more of informatics for improving care all the way down.; ▶ Reply to This
