Drupal health care application: patient consumer empowerment through resource match making

Discussion and demo on a real Drupal application currently in the final stage of development. The session focuses on the use of Drupal and several contributed modules being the core building block without any modifications. The application extends the traditional use of Drupal as a CMS and fully utilizes the potentials of Drupal as a full application development platform, in this case, a full featured consumer health care web product that links patient consumers with providers through a business concept of resource matching. The application also embodies the latest health care trends and reform elements: Accountable Care Organization, Health Information Exchange, Electronic Health Records, and patient empowerment. The application is a good example of how Drupal is being fully deployed in the health care industry. The actual application will be used to illustrate the development or business concepts throughout the session.
