Connecting Patient Data with Ruby
This talk will introduce FHIR, an exciting and emerging REST-based standard in healthcare technology. We will use Ruby to connect and perform queries against an EHR (electronic health record) and patient portal to fetch your own health data.

Refinements
In Ruby 2.0, refinements were introduced as a language-level feature. Since then they haven't seen wide-spread adoption in the community; it's time to change that! We'll walk through what refinements are, how they work, and what problems they can solve. Come see better ways to organize your spaghetti code without sacrificing readability.
Schedule:
- 6:00pm - Eat, mingle
- 6:15pm - Talks begin
