Biomedical device interfacing to clinical information systems: a primer.
I am pleased that we get to take advantage of Bridget Moorman's background, experience, and perspective in this installment of IT World. One of the most nerve-racking tasks we run into these days is getting disparate medical devices to talk to each other over a network. This is especially so if the device you're trying to communicate with doesn't support network connectivity. Bridget shares her experience here not only with a great high-level view of network interfacing, but also with references to dig into all the grim details. She shows us a lot of facets to consider when assembling such a network. You've got to convert to hit the ramp then translate and aggregate before gaining access to the clinical information system cloud. If that doesn't make sense, read on! -Jeff Kabachinski, IT World columnist.
