Ongoing Projects:

• HIT OrgSoup: I've been doing this in my head ever since HIPAA made the headlines and took effect in 2001. The Healthcare It industry started going crazy in the ensuing years with multiple niche organizations, alliances, societies, etc. forming in every nook and cranny of the field. As usual, government helped in amplifying the confusion by creating multiple committees and sponsoring truck-loads of other offices. It's gotten to a point where I am positive that putting all these in one place will be hilarious. Hence this project. My hope is that this page alone can one day be a proof of the fact that the human mind is exceptionally capable of continuously over-analyzing and hyper-structuring an nascent topic (like medical informatics, Healthcare IT) in an attempt to satisfy select egos and confuse the rest of masses. Too many oysters.... too few pearls.

• Advanced Analytics Vendors: Advanced Analytics is a forward-looking style of information analysis where skills, tools, and technologies are focused on continuous and iterative investigation of past performance to drive business planning and estimate future performance. Predictive modeling is perhaps the most widley recognized technique in this category, but there are others. This list contains information around Advanced Analytics offerings currently being marketed in some way.

• Consumerism Trends: These are buzzwords mostly. Nevertheless, a collection of terms that were non-existing previously, but I'm beginning to hear in the field now. Some make sense, some dont. But all of them are fascinating becuase each points to a distinct 'micro-pattern' that is emerging in some way.
• Self-referral (eg. iTriage)
• Self-aggregation (eg. CureTogether)
• Self-policing (eg. wikipedia)
• Self-selection (eg. TrialX, Li trial on PatientsLikeMe)
