OMG", Health Level Seven® (HL7), and the SOA Consortium" announced a Call for Participation in the "SOA in Healthcare: Value in a Time of Change," conference, which will be held June 2-4, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago, IL.

The focus of the SOA in Healthcare conference is to convey real-world experiences. The event will assemble a community of peers to exchange ideas and discuss what has worked, what did not work, and review best practices. Attendees will benefit from lessons learned in real implementations. Not a "tech industry" event, this conference is exclusively healthcare focused, and will highlight the challenges unique to healthcare organizations and emphasize cross-industry solutions that are viable within the healthcare domain. It is targeted primarily to a health-IT savvy audience.

The conference will be experientially focused, with speakers bringing their personal and organizational experiences to what will be a presentation and discussion-oriented forum. The event will host three tracks: 


- An "Executive Summit" targeting key decision-makers, CxO's, and technical leads 
- A "Business Track" focused on the business rationale behind SOA, and organizational change to support it 
- A "Technical Track" addressing how to succeed with SOA in a health setting 
Call for Abstracts 


The conference Review Committee is seeking proposals for presentations based on "real-world" organizational experiences, evaluations, case studies or research papers relevant to the conference themes of SOA and value in Healthcare.

The abstract submission deadline is midnight, March 7, 2009, Eastern Standard Time.
