Professional Accomplishments

Medical and Artificial Intelligence

Developed the clinical decision support system for

Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care.

Sunrise Acute Care is the industry leading

patient care software system for hospitals.

Using expert systems technology, expert rules

alert physicians to abnormal situations.

Roger Corman architected, designed and implemented the clinical

decision support system, which allows doctors and other medical experts to

encode their medical logic in a language called

Arden

This clinical decision support system is considered to be the most

advanced in the industry, offering real-time feedback and alerting

capabilities, and was the first commercial Arden implementation on the market.

Bill Gates discusses this system in his book

Business @ the Speed of Thought

pp. 343-346.

Lead engineer for the AURA system and

Project Halo

. Working with

SRI International

and

Vulcan, developed Common Lisp server-side technologies to support knowledge representation of fundamental biology concepts

and reasoning about biology.

Developed code to support question answering, answer presentation, documentation generation, and generation of additional textbook content.

Project Halo

.

Developed HL7 interfaces (message parser, message generator) for

Allscripts

products. All incoming and outgoing patient data goes through these interfaces.

Developed CALINX Lab Tool for

California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF)

. This tool parses, converts and analyzes lab messages using the CALINX standard (HL7-based).

Developed the ELINCS EDGE Tool for

California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF).

This tool generates and parses ELINCS messages.

Compilers and Development Tools

Developed and continue to maintain the Arden compiler in

Allscripts Clinical Decision Support, which continues

to lead the industry with new functionality. It implements the

Arden HL7 specification.

Corman Lisp, a Common Lisp compiler and development

environment for Win32, which outperforms the competition on a

variety of benchmarks.

Corman Lisp, the only Common Lisp compiler fully supporting multi-threading

on Windows platforms, has achieved a serious following of developers actively

working to use and enhance the product. Corman Lisp includes state-of-the-art garbage

collecting, full Win32 and COM support, and can parse and import C header

files.
