We have all worked at organizations at one time or another that touted their mission, vision, and values and expected staff to be able to recite them at any time, on the spot. If you have ever worked at a hospital, you were often threatened with “Joint Commission might ask you in the hallway and you have to know.” Thirteen years later, no Joint Commission surveyor had ever stopped me to inquire of such information.

I was surprised at how many there were but this one jumped out at me if for no other reason than the archaic walk down memory lane when I opened the full paper and found uber mimeographed typewritten paper.

Changes and trends in information technology are perhaps best discovered by examining what users of IT say about how they’re using it. One of those opportunities is happening soon. Every year, Access Innovations hosts a meeting for users of the company’s Data Harmony software products. The theme of this year’s Data Harmony Users Group meeting is “Then and Now: Addressing the Changing Needs of Semantic Enrichment.” This begs some questions: Just what are the new challenges that semantic enrichment needs to meet? And why are the needs changing? Some preliminary answers may be found in the DHUG meeting agenda.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues and day-to-day operations are changing for many healthcare providers. For example, hospitals must now shift their patient records systems to electronic medical records, which introduces additional challenges during an already stressful time.
