Aziz is a Principal with Meliorix Inc. 

His expertise is in clinical decision support and medical knowledge management.  He currently is one of the Subject Matter Experts in the Health eDecisions initiative established by
the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.

Dr. Boxwala has a blend of experience, having worked in the Health IT industry at startups and large enterprises, and in academia in Informatics programs at Harvard Medical School and most recently at the University of California San Diego.
The  Health eDecisions project has developed specifications for interoperable knowledge artifacts for use in healthcare. These artifacts specify, for different clinical scenarios, the logic and applicable patient care actions in a computable form. The artifacts can be implemented within healthcare applications, such as clinical decision support systems, either as-is or translated into the native format of the application. The presentation will provide the motivation for the Health eDecisions project, the specification,  and its applications.
