More great news --- Dr. Halamka and his incredible engineers went from zero-to-Direct in about a day of actual work ... and just fourteen days from the first conversation about the possibility of hooking up BIDMC to HealthVault using Direct S/MIME exchange. As he posted on his blog this morning, John's CCR and CCD are happily ensconced in his HealthValut account and ready for action --- woo hoo!
Also --- Rich Elmore and Arien Malec have put together a great paper talking about Direct and describing the awesome demonstrations that are going to be shown on the floor at HIMMS. I will be there throughout the show and am really looking forward to talking about the role of HealthVault and the patient in all of this great work. Can't wait!
PS. I still can't believe that I am sitting here 35,000 feet in the air and posting to my blog. Welcome to the Future indeed, Mr. Paisley.
Razzed Umesh a bit this morning and told him it would have only taken them 30 minutes had they used the Java stack ;>)
