The white paper link about the VA and the DoD and the State of Health Records Initiatives and diagram above describe a big picture view of what I am doing in my career now with VA and DoD-related Health Care Records Initiatives. You may want to download and view this new white paper

I am managing a program that develops the enabling software for these initiatives.

This is truly the future of Health Care Records and because it will pass Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other related sensitive information over a complex network of MANY distributed systems and applications, it represents MANY opportunities for the application of security controls and Cybersecurity best practices to protect this information. This is one more reason I am happy that I enrolled in the M.S. in Cybersecurity program at Bellevue University on August 29, 2011.
