SOC4H Potentials?

The sharing of health information among health service providers is a crucial business process that can improve on the quality of health service and also to capitalize on available limited healthcare infrastructure resources. Research into the Service Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm makes mention of some of the potentials of SOC, particularly in the area of integration (collaborative distributed systems). One wonders, therefore, as to how can SOC be applied in health domain - more specifically, how has SOC (or SOA) been used in healthcare and what gains has it introduced? These are some of the interesting topics that one needs to follow very closely. Of course as a technologist, my main interest will be on "what is possible with the technology (SOC) for health application in particular".

Happy New Year - 2013!

As the lazy days draw to a close - we now need to keep focus to achieve the goals that we set ourselves.

Compliments of the new year 2013, and I hope you are sustained to achieve great things this year. I would add: that you should not aim to "finish" everything, as the number 3 is half-out, half-in, rather aim to get something started - a year for major shift (in and out)!

For me 2013 is about getting a PhD proposal accepted - marking the official start of my PhD journey. Motivated by my Cum Laude for my Masters Degree, I now believe much more strongly that I can do this!

All the best, keep the focus, keep the faith!
