HELLO, VISITOR!🙏

Welcome to my personal blog, which serves as a sort of 'personal canvas' that
helps me share my story as a software professional. I try to blog when I am able
to, on topics such as health informatics, software development, as well as other
topics such as history, science, and books. Recently, I started creating
interactive quizzes on a variety of topics, which I believe are essential for
any modern software development professional. Originally, these quizzes were
created to help in my own learning and for presentations to my colleagues and
clients, but have started making them available online so others might benefit
from them. Your insights and interactions are warmly welcomed on these blog
posts, articles, as well as quizzes, so we can collectively learn and grow
together. Cheers!

MY HL7 TUTORIALS

HL7 is a family of cooperating standards which collectively help provide a set
of organizational frameworks and guidelines to help in the design,
implementation, administration and operationalization of systems that perform
healthcare-related information exchange in an electronic format. The various
standards contained within the larger HL7 umbrella (such as V2, V3, FHIR, CDA,
etc) help define how patient care and any care provider-related information is
communicated between the various parties involved. Kmowledge of these standards
is vital to enable these disparate parties to exchange timely and critical
healthcare data using standardized data types and a structured vocabulary set
needed to achieve seamless integration between the various electronic health
systems involved. My HL7 Tutorials should take someone with a background in any
object-oriented language (C# or Java is preferrable) and illustrate how the
static as well as runtime behavior of systems built using the HL7 standard will
look like. I have recently added a small interactive quiz on HL7 topics to
engage the learner. I plan to make this much more comprehensive in the future to
benefit learners pursuing certifications in the health informatics area.

MY DICOM TUTORIALS

DICOM is a healthcare standard responsible for governing nearly all aspects of
medical imaging such as image transmission, image interpretation, print
management, procedure management and off-line storage, and is used in nearly all
healthcare-related imaging “modalities” such as magnetic resonance, nuclear
medicine, computed tomography and ultrasound. Nearly all clinical imaging
workflows around the world are based on the DICOM standard. Learning this
standard is vital if you work or want to work in the healthcare informatics
industry.

My DICOM Tutorials are a series of short and focused articles aimed at someone
who is starting with DICOM and wants to understand the theory by relating to
some practical code examples. DICOM is an extremely large standard (some 6000
pages and growing each day) and is intimidating even to those who work with it
on a daily basis. My tutorials are an attempt to provide a "digest version" of
the many areas in the standard. These articles do not require any prior
healthcare background or knowledge from the readers. Only a background in any
object-oriented programming language such as C#, Java or C++ is required. I have
recently added a small interactive quiz on DICOM topics to engage the learner. I
plan to make this much more comprehensive in the future to benefit learners
pursuing certifications in the health informatics area.

MY INTERACTIVE QUIZZES

In an effort to make my blog articles more engaging, I've crafted a series of
interactive quizzes encompassing a variety of topics pertinent to the realm of
health informatics. These include pivotal areas such as HL7 (V2, V3 and FHIR),
DICOM, Web Security, REST APIs, Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT),
regulatory standards and risk assessment frameworks (including HIPAA, SOC
Framework and GDPR), on software programming including data structures and
algorithms as well as software development concepts and best practices.

Over the years, I have come to strongly believe that quizzes are a great conduit
for learning and act as catalysts for memory retention, allowing us to actively
recall and apply information, which strengthens cognitive connections. Moving
forward, my plan is to broaden the quiz topics and refine existing ones, such as
HL7, DICOM and web security, to be more modular, thereby allowing learners the
flexibility to engage with concise, manageable units at their preferred pace.
