OMG™, Health Level Seven® (HL7), and the SOA Consortium™ announce the “SOA in Healthcare: Value in a Time of Change,” conference held June 2-4, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago, IL. Registration details may be found online at http://www.omg.org/hc-std
Gold Sponsor: EDS
Silver Sponsors: Appian, Intel
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption is viewed as a key enabler for the 21st century enterprise due to increased opportunity for productivity and integration, and requires significant changes for both business and IT executives. The goal of the conference, now in its second year, is to raise the dialogue about SOA and its use in healthcare, with a focus on its role as a transformation agent to add organizational value.
The focus of the SOA in Healthcare conference is to convey real-world experiences, assembling a community of peers to exchange ideas and discuss what has worked, what did not work, and review best practices for attendees to benefit from lessons learned faced in real implementations. Not a “tech industry” event, this conference is exclusively healthcare focused, and will highlight the challenges unique to healthcare organizations and emphasize cross-industry solutions that are viable within the healthcare domain. It is targeted primarily to a health-IT savvy audience.
A wide cross-section of the health industry will participate, including healthcare providers, payers, public health organizations and vendors from both the public and private sector. In addition, a select number of international invitees will be presenting.
The conference will be experientially focused, with speakers bringing their personal and organizational experiences to what will be a presentation and discussion-oriented forum. The event will host three tracks:
* An “Executive Summit” targeting key decision-makers, CxO’s, and technical leads
* A “Business Track” focused on the business rationale behind SOA, and organizational change to support it
* A “Technical Track” addressing how to succeed with SOA in a health setting
Everyone with an interest in SOA in healthcare is invited to attend!
