SemanticWeb.com Interviews Stephen Lahanas

Semanticweb.com's Scott Koegler interviewed Semantech Inc. principal consultant, Stephen Lahanas this month on the topic of how Semantic Technology can be applied to Healthcare IT. The article and full audio of the interview are on the Semanticweb.com site. Mr. Koegler, the former editor and blog-master of SemanticReport.com asked about how the practice of Semantic Integration could be applied to solve critical healthcare issues.

“Intelligent Healthcare” (IH) is a metaphor both for design and for practice with the explicit understanding that through emerging technologies those two will become ever more closely intertwined. IH recognizes that there are or will be innumerable potential domain boundaries both internally and externally that will necessarily segment ‘islands of information.’ Those islands of information represent individual and community knowledge and practice options. The role of IH is to both harness those diverse information resources dynamically and apply them back to their respective communities to enable continuous practice improvements.

The Intelligent Healthcare practice is being launched in partnership with the Teksouth Corporation.

The Intelligent Healthcare Practice is Launched

Semantech Inc. is proud to announce the launch of a next generation Healthcare IT practice - Intelligent Healthcare. This practice is a collaboration with our partner, The Teksouth Corporation and stems from our work on cutting edge Healthcare integration research conducted over the past year.

The Intelligent Healthcare (IH) practice is separated into five centers of excellence:

1. Healthcare IT Strategy
2. Healthcare Enterprise Architecture
3. Semantic Integration
4. Lifecycle Management
5. Healthcare Intelligence (analytics, Informatics)

The mission of the practice is to empower the Healthcare industry by helping to improve patient outcomes while reducing costs. We believe that the key to achieving these critical goals is through more accurate management of data and through improved processes that can "learn" from insights gained from the medical community.
