The document discusses photometry, which is the science of measuring human visual response to light. It describes how the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) defined the average human eye's response to light in 1924 by compiling data on light-adapted eyes into the photopic curve. The photopic curve shows that people are most sensitive to green light and less sensitive to red and violet wavelengths. The CIE also defined the scotopic curve to describe the eye's response in low-light conditions. The CIE aimed to establish a standard light source as a reference for photometry measurements.
Dr. Ralph Schaetzing, Manager, Strategic Standards & Regulatory Affairs, Carestream, writes about how we define “image quality” and how the definition involves numerous factors that can differ between people and technologies.
The key topics covered in the white paper that delves into the image quality debate include:
• Where image quality is affected throughout the radiographic image chain
• Understanding the three different “flavors” of image quality—objective, subjective, and performance-based
• The role medical image processing plays in determining image quality
• The three main categories of reader error in radiography—visual scanning, target recognition, and decision-making/interpretation

It describes how HIE is integrated into Vermont's health reform efforts like the Blueprint for Health, which uses clinical data to support practices' transformation to the patient-centered medical home model and provide population health management. The document also notes some learnings around vendor challenges, interoperability issues, and ensuring HIE sustainability beyond public funding as payment models evolve.
This document discusses communication strategies for an electronic health record implementation project. It emphasizes the importance of communicating clearly and honestly with all stakeholders, including physicians, nurses, and other staff. Effective communication requires understanding different audiences, crafting individualized messages, and selecting the right messengers who are respected within each group. The overall goal of communication is to help stakeholders understand and buy into the changes required to achieve the project's objectives.
The document outlines an agenda for a CMIO Summit on June 10th, 2011.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
