Connect software runs on a touch screen device and features social networking, as well as health management and reporting tools. The system has been undergoing a successful user trial at a nursing home in Michigan since last year.

Today I saw what seems to amount to a press release that talks about the “EHR Stimulus Alliance” and their tour to “educate 500,000 U.S. physicians about opportunities aligned with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.” This type of puffery just makes me sick. No. Not the educating 500,000 physicians. That’s a good thing and part of the motivation for this blog. The thing that makes me sick is this seems like just a big marketing campaign for Allscripts. Sure they have a list of other partners, but they’re basically partners of Allscripts. Check out the list: Allscripts, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Intel, Intuit, Microsoft Corp., and Nuance. ...

At the bottom it lists the “EHR Stimulus Alliance.” The following companies are listed in this EHR alliance: Allscripts Cisco Citrix Dell intel intuit Microsoft Nuance What a group of large companies trying to sell a bunch of product. I guess we should have expected something like this, but maybe I’m just a little surprised that they made a website for an EHR stimulus tour and everything.

The survey also found that most adults (58 percent) would rather give up television watching for two weeks than Internet access for one week, and 65 percent of those surveyed placed the Internet into the category of discretionary items in their life that they cannot live without. Far from robbing people of their social involvement with others, the survey also revealed that 78 percent of adults said the Internet improved their ability to stay in touch with friends and family, and more than two-thirds described it as a method to shop more effectively and efficiently, saving them money. ...

I would encourage anyone contemplating this to read as many tech forums on this subject as is reasonable. Read Steps 1-6 and NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING: 1. Build your computer with all the components installed including the drives for RAID configuration. If you have a card reader, unplug this from the MOBO port for now. Start the computer and make sure that all fans are running and you can boot into BIOS. If you already have a prebuilt computer, do the same. Sorry, you WILL have to reinstall Windows XP. BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST. ONCE THE OS IS INSTALLED, YOU CANNOT GO BACK AND INSTALL RAID DRIVES. THE RAID INSTALL MUST OCCUR PRIOR TO AND DURING OS INSTALLATION.

I beleive this could become an important tool for caregivers. For those who must work it could certainly provide some piece of mind and allow them to keep their loved one at home rather then have them institutionalized.As time goes on this new technology will likely come down in price and overall cost. With the cost of gasoline rising it might also replace some visits to the doctor's office. The potential market for this device is huge, so if it is accepted in the marketplace it will become a valuable tool.Here is a snippet from the press release.

This interview was done before his speech in annual meeting of Scociety of Neurosciences. There he challenged big pharma companies, many of which haven't had an important new compound approved in ages, and academic researchers who are content with getting NIH grants and publishing research papers with little regard to whether their work leads to something that can alleviate disease, and asked them to change their ways. In this publication-driven-research practice age, there are lot of missing links which retard the growth.

This replaces the code name Santa Rosa which is the 4th generation Centrino platform.[This will] offer a slightly faster version of Intel's Core 2 Duo microprocessor chip. But there are two other elements: a set of accessory chips that can display more realistic computer graphics, and Intel's adoption of draft industry specifications called 802.11n in wireless chips that send data at about five times the speed of today's Wi-Fi technology.Just to recap, Centrino is the platform-marketing initiative by Intel that denotes the use of all 3 of its chips--CPU, mainboard chipset, and wireless--in the design of laptops.
