Linkedin groups - Careers on the LiMS groups

Linkedin is very interesting, but after I joined so many groups, I started getting too many emails with my subscriptions, so I had to trim back.  One group I have not unsubscribed from (yet) is the Laboratory Informatics group.  I am astounded at the number of jobs for this group and will post the list I got today.  I think I get a list like this everyday. In case anyone else doesn't know, LiMS stands for Laboratory Information Management Systems.

List of US Universities with Masters In Health Informatics

http://mastersinhealthinformatics.com/universities-with-masters-in-health-informatics-degree-programs/

I am posting a lot about the US recently.  This list is quite an extensive one for Health Informatics.  I have seen PhD programs in Health Informatics.  One curriculum for a University in Florida had courses very different from the ones I was required to take, for example, Anatomy, SQL Programming, and Datbase Management, were all individual courses.  I did not have to take anatomy, but in fact I have been invited to see surgical skills training and an autopsy in an anatomy lab in the next few weeks.  Thought it would help expand my knowledge of technology used in skills training by pathologists.

Browsing these university programs is interesting.

Integration Engines - the Cloverleaf on the Information Highway

I was looking at eHealth career postings on the COACH website and found one at Telus for an Integration Health Business Consultant. What caught my attention was one of the Responsibilities: "Develop HL7 interfaces to integrate disparate health care applications using a variety of commercial integration engines such as: Oracle’s Java CAPS; e*Gate (SRE); Datagate; OpenESB; SOA Suite; Quovadx Cloverleaf; webMethods; IBM WebSphere; and Microsoft BizTalk." I had heard of Biztalk and knew it was a web service, probably using Service Oriented Architecture, but the rest of them were all new to me. This is a veritable flotilla of integration engines for disparate systems. It was only minutes later when I found myself searching for information about Cloverleaf ("The Swiss Army Knife for Data Conversions"), that I landed on the MDI Solutions website. Here I found a grouping of HL7 Integration Engines like I have never seen before. Their webpage on HL7 Integration Expertise includes many of these same integration engines.
