Peter McKinnis, a Microsoft Certified Professional, has over eight years experience designing and developing computing applications. Peter graduated from Yale University in 1991 and then spent four years working with doctors at Duke University Medical Center designing and developing a new point-of-care system for collecting and reporting on cardiovascular procedural data. For most of this time, he was the sole developer for the client application written in Visual C++.A joint venture was started to commercialize the client-server product and develop web-based clinical data-entry. The resulting system, Crescendo, was installed at 12 hospitals. Crescendo was integrated with other systems using HL7 messaging. Peter wrote a Java server application that listened for HL7 messages from other hospital systems and entered the information into the cardiovascular database. For the web-based clinical data-entry, Peter wrote the Java application that converted the database definitions of the questions, answers, and sections into Active Server Pages and HTML. The web-based clinical system was built on Microsoft IIS, ASP, and SQL Server.Now with Waratah, Peter is the technical lead, designing and developing data mining and reporting solutions using the latest tools and technologies. Working with Health Hero, Peter has written Java applets and server-side Java Beans for creating graphical representations of data using a third-party graphics library. The Java applets work with data from EJBs contained in BEA's WebLogic. He has worked on the report development and deployment using Actuate's e.Reporting suite for the reporting engine and Apple's WebObjects for the user interface. Peter designed and developed the data export system that uses server-side reports to create an XML stream that is parsed on the client by a Java applet data writer. In addition to having an extensive healthcare solution development experience, Peter has kept current with the latest technologies and provides guidance and technical expertise for the other developers. |
