IHI Shines Silverlight on Healthcare Improvement

Recently Bob Familiar had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael Iantosca, CEO of eDefine, Paul Hamnett, VP of engineering at the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI.org), and Kerri Sweeney , Director of Development at IHI, to learn about a new Silverlight based solution they have created for the healthcare quality industry called the Improvement Map.

The Improvement Map is a Silverlight 3 based online tool that distills the best knowledge available on the key process improvements that will lead to better outcomes for patients. The tool makes it easy for hospitals to find, understand and adopt best practices.

Bob has posted a multi-part Solution Brief that details an architecture that leverages Silverlight 3, PRISM, Entity Framework, and ADO.NET Data Services to deliver a scalable line of business application with a well thought-out user experience. This solution provides a detailed roadmap for anyone who is looking to follow in their footsteps.
