About Isaac Holeman
I'm a cofounder and Chief Strategist at Medic Mobile, an mHealth organization that uses low-cost mobile technology to create connected, coordinated health systems that save more lives. I am based out of a suitcase and might be anywhere in East Africa at the moment. I recently completed a bachelors degree in biochemistry & molecular biology at Lewis & Clark. I enjoy informatics, global health, behavioral research, serial entrepreneurship, and red letter Christians. I love my job, though I miss my beloved Cascadia.

Isaac Holeman replied to "health information systems" in the Health IT community.
Dear Bana, For more information on cell phone based referral system, you may be interested in a recent thread on the GHDonline forum: http://www.ghdonline.org/tech/discussion/blog-post-on-stop-the-stockouts-for-health-it/ I work at a hospital in Malawi that has been using FrontlineSMS for more than a year. The latest addition to this project is to add a phone/SMS based form that outlying health centers can use to coordinate emergency obstetrics referrals with the central hospital.

Isaac Holeman started a discussion "Text in this document is all garbled with code" in the Health IT community.
Hi Joaquin, Most of the text in this document is really garbled with tags that it's almost unreadable. Is anyone else having this problem with this word doc, or is it just me? Would you be able to try re-uploading it, possibly as a pdf? Thanks! Isaac
