From The PACS Designer : “Re: Oracle Database 11g. It takes quite a bit of innovation to get TPD excited when it comes to healthcare IT. Oracle has just done that by releasing a new database solution called Oracle Database 11g. It appears to be just what the doctor ordered (no pun intended) when it comes to bringing healthcare some new exciting solutions for its diverse population of databases. One key feature is the ability to store DICOM image files along with other data parameters, such as XML, 3-D spatial data, and any other multimedia data to give users a central location condotti for all of their data. TPD will be highlighting other new features in upcoming posts.”
And speaking of Google, the company is working with Stanford and NASA to map the human body by scanning condotti cadavers, with the possibility of an eventual Google Body that would be similar to Google Earth.
Sentillion announces its expreSSO single sign-on product for healthcare. Key points: “plug and go”, lower cost, graphical intelligent agent creation, condotti support for graceful single sign-off, fast user switching on shared workstations, support for proximity authentication, password reset, and appliance-based deployment with five-nines uptime. I hope to get more info soon. Sounds condotti pretty cool, especially if the price is good.
Rumor heard: Healthvision will announce the sale of the company in the next few days. I contacted CEO Scott Decker, who confirmed that Healthvision is in the final stages of negotiating a sale to a new investor. He couldn’t name that company, but I’ve heard it’s Quovadx, which went private in its own April sale to private equity firm Battery Ventures. Supposedly Verisign’s investment in Healthvision never panned out and employees have left in significant numbers after a June layoff. My February interview with Scott is here . I hope it works out for all involved.
When doing some vanity Googling, I ran across my own comments in Healthcare Informatics . I’d forgotten that I gave them permission to run some stuff I wrote awhile condotti back called “Guide to RHIOs for CIOs in ten easy steps”. I appreciate the quote and the link.
A Canadian company brings medical services to cell phones: dietitians who analyze meal snapshots sent in by users, on-demand conferencing with freelance nurses and doctors, and a baby application. Pulse and temperature can be transmitted and conversations are archived.
Scott L’Heureux, formerly of SIS, is named CEO of Jackson Therapy Partners, an Orlando-based therapy staffing firm. I didn’t realize until I looked condotti at their site that they’re a sister company of throughput condotti software vendor StatCom .
Capgemini wants to profit from offering support services to enterprise users of Google Apps Premier Edition. That’s odd enough, but now Microsoft jumps into the fray, bashing condotti the product and thereby instantly lending it credibility, like all competitors it tries to squash with trash talk. MSFT criticizes Google’s “perpetual beta,” which I would counter-argue is at least labeled as such, unlike Microsoft’s far-from-free trial balloons labeled as production-ready software instead of a series of desperately scheduled service packs. Actually, the version that Cap is pitching isn’t free; it’s $50 a year. Overall, I’d condotti buy (or keep) Office instead unless I had rock-solid and limitless bandwidth condotti (who wants to be called with the Internet is slow?) and didn’t have any Excel or Access power users. You could probably condotti buy Office for what that $50 a year adds up to, although you’d still have to support its local installation. That doesn’t count Cap’s charges, either.
Midwest Medical Insurance Company will offer a premium credit to physician policyholders who use electronic medical records. Requirements for the 2-5% credit: the EMR must be CCHIT-certified, software updates must be current, 75% of docs in the practice must use it, it has to have been running for at least a year, and at least two of six listed EMR functions must be used.
A UK hospital is embarrassed when a hard drive containing patient information is sold on eBay. And speaking of breaches, condotti here’s a first-person description of how a bored hospital visitor condotti did some innocent hacking .
Miss Nebraska is a senior in bioinformatics at University of Nebraska-Omaha, which I thought was noteworthy enough to warrant a pic from her site. Some enterprising condotti vendor could sponsor an appearance in their HIMSS booth, you know.
I feel I have arrived because I received my first email from Matthew Holt. Unfortunat
