Social Media and Medicine: Fad or Shift?Gregg Masters
A social media tutorial for client medical group, including details on physician immersion in the broadly cast "digital health channel'. Some key trends in digital health, including both primary and secondary market research are recapped to suggest certain forward implications for a 'cloud based web presence'. Is social media a fad, I don't think empirical evidence would suggest such a conclusion.
Social Media and Health Care: A Global PerspectiveSpectrum
On January 27, 2010, Spectrum and Aurora presented a PRSA webinar on how to leverage social media in a regulated industry.
It is important for the health care industry to begin 2010 with a clear vision for embracing social media. In 2009, health care regulators finally started to address the issue - from the FDA's public hearings to the creation of a digital marketing working group by the UK's Pharmaceutical Marketing Society. There is no denying that consumers are constantly turning to the Internet as a source for health information. As communications professionals, we need to understand the opportunities, challenges and threats of the emerging digital world.

Exploring the concept of the expert, how newcomers have transformed other industries, the role of the newcomer in healthcare, and how we can actively engage talent to enter our industry.
Healthcare delivery is becoming an increasingly complex operation. Nurses, physicians and other allied healthcare professionals are increasingly measured on their quality of work, even with increasing patient volume and patient complexity. Technology, from sensors to analytics to software based decision support and automation, have the potential to both leverage our healthcare provider workforce to mange increasing demands and to improve quality. This presentation will focus on the key areas of opportunity for technology to improve the capabilities of healthcare providers in delivering quality care.

By 2020, the number of Americans who are expected to need assistance is projected to be 117 million, yet the number of unpaid family caregivers is expected to reach only 45 million. We need technology more than ever to bridge the gap. Project Catalyst, in collaboration with HITLAB, conducted a survey with over 1,000 caregivers, aimed at identifying their technology interest and usage. The research found that caregivers have a high interest in using technology to care for their loved ones – 71 percent of survey participants expressed interest in using technology to support caregiving activities while less than 10 percent have currently or previously used caregiving technology. Adoption rates are low due to a range of factors including lack of awareness, high cost, perception that technology may not be a benefit, and lack of time to learn and adapt new technologies. This presents an opportunity for the technology industry to leapfrog existing offerings and provide viable alternatives to the 40 million caregivers actively seeking ways to lessen their workload.

Trends and Career Opportunities in Health ITdata brackets
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare and social services jobs are expected to grow 24 percent from 2008 through 2018, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth in the healthcare IT industry can be attributed to many factors: Long term care of a large aging population, the need for technology to provide greater accountability for two thirds of the population at risk for heart disease due to being overweight or obese, more emphasis on preventive care and the use of technology and data to increase the quality of patient care and overall accountability. Additionally, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) bill included a section known as HITECH where entitlement funds are available (+/-$34 billion) to Medicare and Medicaid participating providers (hospitals, physicians and other providers) as an incentive to develop and improve their health information technology (HIT) capabilities, primarily in the area of electronic health records (EHRs).
The problem that many hospitals and other providers encounter in filling these jobs is the shortage of qualified, experienced health IT staff. While the federally funded training programs in 82 community colleges may help meet some of the demand, the majority of the available positions are not entry level, say consultants and CIOs.
This presentation will focus on these trends and career opportunities in health IT for professionals based on job roles, vendors technology and market transition.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
