Stilwell Memorial Hospital goes live on OpenVista electronic health records: Medsphere Systems Corporation and Stilwell Memorial Hospital today announced that Stilwell is now up and running on Medsphere’s OpenVista open source electronic health record (EHR). With full technical support for Stilwell clinicians, the hospital can focus on Meaningful Use Stage 1 process and patient care improvements as outlined in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The expectation, supported by the experience of other Medsphere customers, is that 34-bed Stilwell will see measurable improvements in community care enabled by their use of OpenVista. The comprehensive EHR will arm Stilwell clinicians with the tools to rapidly identify potential drug interactions, review family health history and confirm patient data at the bedside via bar code scanner. “On behalf of Medsphere, I want to congratulate Stilwell President and CEO Alan L. Adams and his dedicated staff at Memorial Hospital,” said Medsphere President and CEO Irv Lichtenwald. “It’s been very clear to us since day one that the entire hospital was motivated in this project by their commitment to serving the needs of the city of Stilwell and the surrounding community. Improved patient care through affordable health IT is available to the thousands of essential community hospitals in this country, and Memorial Hospital is demonstrating to others how it can and should be done.”

…okay maybe not but it’s still a good read!!

 Google+ Passes Twitter to Become Second Largest Social Network, Stu…

Devon Glenn on January 28, 2013 12:22 PM

Google+ has surpassed Twitter in the number of active users to become the number two social platform, according to a study by the GlobalWebIndex.

To come up with the numbers, the analysts compared internet users in 31 markets who have used or contributed to a social network in the past month. In December 2012, Google+ grew by 27 percent to 343 million active users, accounting for 25 percent of the global internet population.

Google’s social network is still smaller than Facebook’s, where the number of monthly active users grew 33 percent to 693 million, making up 51 percent of the internet population.  By the researchers’ calculations, the network has 903 million accountholders in all, which is not far behind Facebook’s reported 1 billion users.

What companies should take away from the Super Bowl blackout 

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

Like most folks, I watched in some disbelief – and more than a little annoyance – at the 33-minute delay of the Super Bowl when a power surge knocked out half the stadium lights during the third quarter.

It was comical, surreal and fascinating how CBS tried to keep its audience engaged. It was also a big black eye for the most popular sporting league in the United States and the city of New Orleans as it was attempting to prove to America and the world that it was back from the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina.

Most disturbing was how such an event could occur at the biggest NFL game of the year, despite all the behind-the-scenes equipment testing and disaster prevention preps.

But it happened and became the biggest story for the papers, talk radio stations, cable news outlets and sports channels. Many of my business colleagues chuckled a bit at the situation when it occurred. I, on the other hand, saw the issue as a clear reminder to organizations that they need to prepare for worst case scenarios at all time.

If companies don’t think that a 30-odd minute unexpected network or power downtime isn’t a big deal, think again.
