- I am a contract programmer. I have had a contract to supply
software to the J14 MAC (Medicare Administrative Contractor) since 1997.
My software was used by a provider to transmit the first valid v5010
X.12 837 transaction set to a Medicare contractor. I was notified of
this in writing on 5/4/2011. My e-prescription software is certified
by Surescripts and is currently in use by many provider/prescribers.
I designed the provider interface as well as the 'relay' web site
that transfers XML prescription and refill files to and from the
providers and Surescripts approved pharmacies.
My main interests are artificial intelligence and robotics and healthcare database design. My development computer network has:
- 12 workstations plus 4 servers and 6 laptops
- Over 52 terabytes of storage
- 6 WiFi transmitters supporting a,b,g,n.
- 150+gb cloud storage for many web sites including full time web sites for Medicare contractors to use for downloading files.
- Currently managing cloud servers in different, unrelated server farms in the US and UK.
