Open source content management provider Alfresco has released their platform, Alfresco Community 4, at JavaOne.
New Document Management Resource
Iron Mountain has opened a document scanning and indexing center to help organizations across Europe make the most of their information within stringent national and EU regulation. The center uses the latest technology to provide a suite of document management services for organizations of all sizes and from all sectors.
Costs Deter Move to Electronic Health Records
Physicians are notoriously slow in implementing electronic health records (EHRs) within their office systems. The government has been feverishly trying to get doctors to use these systems for some time, but despite assurances of security and ultimately, cost savings, some physicians remain skeptical.
Technology Changes Physician’s Roles
I am sure most physicians didn’t decide to go to medical school because they liked technology. Granted and especially recently, younger medical students are entering the field already assimilated to using technology in every aspect of their life so applying it in their daily professional life is no stretch. However, with the many advances in semantic technology and now the shift to ICD 10 coding, which will require more specific coding for reimbursements, physicians can no longer hide in the clinic and let the office manager fend for their selves.
Indexing Your Cookbooks
Though it may seem trivial in comparison to indexing millions of books in libraries, hundreds of thousands documents for publishers, and the endless financial data being indexed continuously, a new technology is indexing personal cookbook libraries for ease in searching for a specific recipe, ingredient or theme.
National Agriculture Library Selects TEMIS for Auto-Indexing
TEMIS was awarded the contract by the National Agricultural Library (NAL) to automatically index hundreds of thousands of documents annually. NAL has acquired via TEMIS an automated indexing software that expands their indexing potential.
Indexing the Social Health Web
Treato is a new source of medical information based on real life experiences of patients published over the social web. This new semantic-based technology was unveiled at the Health2.0 conference.
Open Net – What a site!
I was doing some poking around to find out about OpenNet (which the Department of State uses), and I came across a DOE implementation of it (they apparently helped invent it.) Clicking the author link works really well! The site is clean and crisp. Very professional looking.
