Health Care Experience
At Oxford Health Plans I was the principal architect leading a new business
effort called Specialty Management Company (SMC). SMC was a new
business venture to manage specialty care with the goal of creating better
patient outcomes through more equitable insurance company physician
relationships. In this capacity I worked on business definition, technical
design/architecture as well as taking over development leadership for a 75+
person project that spanned two continents. The software was delivered
on-time, under budget, and rolled out to a population across the USA.
At CIGNA Health Plans I was hired as the Vice President of Architecture. I led
the Design Architecture group with responsibility for standardizing design
methods, developing a system integration strategy, component reuse
methods, and implemented the notion of design patterns. I had to work all
levels of this Fortune 50 enterprise from the CIO to development staff. I also
had responsibility for a number of business reengineering efforts including
call center, physician credentialing, claims system consolidation from 14
separate claims systems to 3, and simplified patient outcome reporting.
My work at Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford CT gave me exposure to various
aspects of the hospital industry. I was responsible for numerous projects --
clinical and financial. These projects included - new computer system
installations, electronic medical records, and patient billing.
APMC a Physician Practice Management software company used my project
turn-around skills to re-organize a faltering software modernization effort. In
six months the project was turned around and re-energized with the first
release of the analytic software.
At Aetna Health Plans I reported to the CIO on a number of major system
modernization initiatives utilizing my technical and healthcare business
experience. These modernization efforts included physician credentialing,
provider dB reporting, and consolidation of claims systems.

Federal Government
I have recently had the opportunity to participate in the exciting work taking
place in Washington DC. I am an architect in Health and Human Services,
developing a large scale federated SOA system for securely exchanging
health data over the Internet. The system - National Health Information
Network (NHIN) -- provides the open specifications, UDDI registry, managed
PKI, reference implementation, and interoperability platform necessary for
HIO (health Information Organizations) to communicate in a standard
fashion. The NHIN is considered a vital element of the federal government's
health care strategy -- data exchange, virtual lifetime electronic record, and
nationwide health strategy.
This not only involves the technical aspects but the business and data
exchange challenges associated with health care data interchange. Some
of the standards and groups associated with this effort - HL7, SNOMED,
DICOM, HITSP, IHE, GIPSE
