Only day 2 and I’m beginning to fade – time for more coffee!! The poster went well. Quite a bit of interest and some opinions aired about the way we’ve done a few things like archetypes and HL7 v2/v3. From what I can see there is a lot of interest in Health IT – an emerging market and under-capitalized according to industry analysts. Almost 11 am and the conference delegates have been rolling in for morning tea. We have strong interest from overseas people, but not Aussies – about normal for the way IT works here in Aus. Time for schmoozing with customers/competitors!!

This week I’m at the MedInfo 2007 conference in Brisbane.
I’m presenting a poster this afternoon on GELLO, a querying language written by the HL7 people. It’s a far cry from the TCP/IP work I did in the 90’s but still in the compiler writing vein that I’ve been doing over the past 20 odd years or so. The company I work (Medical-Objects) for is known for it’s HL7 and vEMR work around Australia, and the work I’ve done with GELLO has catapulted it onto the international scene as we produced one of the first implementations worldwide.
I’m little tired still as the “boys” have a tendency to work into the wee hours with stuff for the conference (like setting up servers on Monday morning at 2:30 am!!)
