NHIN Direct and CONNECT - Health Information Exchange Infrastructure

The Health IT track at OSCON in 2010 brought together three of the thought leaders working to create a Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). They are:
David Riley, head of the CONNECT initiative for the Federal Health Architecture (FHA) Program. Riley is responsible for creating the product direction and overseeing product development for CONNECT.
Brian Behlendorf is a collaboration advisor for the CONNECT project, and he co-founded the Apache Web Server Project.
Arien Malec is the coordinator for NHIN Direct, where he manages the activities of a public-private group that's developing specifications for data transport in support of the meaningful use rules.
