DESCRIPTION: The National Health Information Network (NHIN) is a
Department of Health and Human Services initiative for specifying the standards,
architecture, and methodology for securely and seamlessly exchanging and
consolidating patient health information for improved medical care and more
efficient delivery of medical services. The total costs of implementing this
NHIN have been estimated between $200-300 billion with potential savings of
$150-500 billion/year when fully implemented. To many, implementing a National
Health Information Network seems impractical and unaffordable without new
technologies and approaches that minimize the costs and time of integrating data
and applications. A new technology that offers promise is called an Application
Integration Platform (AIP). AIP allows geographically dispersed individuals to
collaborate and share data structures, adapters, and application interfaces for
the purpose of designing, testing, and implementing re-usable processes. The
applications utilized can be written in any language and run on any computing
environment. DQS Global, a Silver Spring company, has patented and developed an
AIP that provides an easy to use interface for rapidly creating a library of
re-usable data structures, application interfaces, and processes. In addition,
their technology is designed to process data at the speed of applications,
networks, and operating environments. John Walsh, Founder of DQS Global, will
discuss how this new AIP technology can be used to economically build the
integration framework for the National Health Information Network. Using AIP
technology, John envisions that once this integration framework is built, that
computer literate administrative staff could easily send their data from their
computer to any other system in Network.

expedited patent that is only issued to inventions in the national interest. In
the past forty years, only ten companies have received this special treatment
and distinction and DQS Global is the only software company. DQS Global patented
technology, ROMEŽ, is an enterprise infrastructure system for integrating and
managing data, applications, operating systems and hardware platforms on a
global basis. ROMEŽ allows users to visually collaborate on the design, testing
and implementation of distributed computing processes in which the users, data,
and applications can be located anywhere. Mr. Walsh is the recipient of numerous
awards for his successful pioneering efforts, most recently a Montgomery County
Chamber of Commerce Leadership Award in 2003 and a Federal Emerging Technologies
Innovation Award in 2004. Mr. Walsh received a Bachelor of Arts in Political
