[consulting] Consultants that have deployed healthcare-related Drupal projects

[Chris Snook-Lumb]

I'm trying to work up a generic business intelligence model using drupal for the presentation of content 
At the moment. It's specifically for commissioner use in the uk (moving towards a hmo, us style system of managing acute contracts)

I'm fairly new to drupal and php ingeneral so it's slow going at the moment but I do have a lot of ideas and experience of the way that the english health service works.

The confidentiality issues are a big worry the approach I'm taking is that I'm focusing on the functionaity around web based areas where good managementinformation can be provided without going as far as identifiable data but building database processes to do some of the elements where ids are essential off line.... In the hope that further down the line these can be integrated into the system.

If anyone out there is in a similar position with less experienxe of healthcare in the uk but more experience of drupal would be good to work with them

It's actually *less* about "big healthcare" than it is about finding
some of the people that I remember specializing in e-health related
items. I remember some websites way back in late 2004.

In fact, some of the people that have recently contacted me are
looking for community-style solutions (think more about training /
elearning related to healthcare). I'm trying to help make some
connections.

There ARE some interesting thoughts regarding, well, a buzzword I just
made up :P, called "user centric healthcare" -- control over records
and treatments. But that gets into (in the US) HIPPA and really really
hairy data privacy and access, which as KarenS points out is highly
connected to access control.

And a final area is replacing those green screen / DOS apps used to
manage medical offices with Drupal-based practice management systems.
Scheduling, billing, connecting to upstream EDI-based insurance
systems, etc. etc.
