Spreadsheets vs ERP - Jon Kidd at Eusprig 2014eusprig
The development of spreadsheets and ERP systems have taken parallel paths in their histories to date. Often, spreadsheets have been used to bridge temporary gaps in the functionality of Enterprise systems, and these temporary, tactical ‘bridges’ become permanent and strategic over time – weakening Enterprise Management, Governance and Resilience. This paper will examine the problem in more detail, and what pragmatic steps can be taken to achieve the right balance between spreadsheets and ERP systems – thereby reducing Enterprise risk.
Industry experts from health care and informatics ponder the future of electronic health records during the implementation of "meaningful use" and beyond.

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.

Whether the designation is electronic
medical records (EMR) or electronic
health records (EHR), there is widespread
consensus that the costs and difficulties
associated with system adoption are surpassed
by the benefits to be gained by all stakeholders. In
addition to providing more efficient and cost-effective
care delivery workflows, EHRs offer opportunities
to standardize care delivery processes, reduce
medical errors, and speed reimbursements.
Before expecting your support staff or divisional departments to contribute qualitatively into the integrated EHR system, care must be taken to identify and train them for orienting them to the mechanism of the EHR

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

"With HITECH having placed deadlines on the creation of standards regarding interoperability and meaningful use of EHRs,
this seminar will examine what is necessary for entities to come into and remain compliant with the HITECH standard-setting process.”
– Richard G. Korman, Esq., General Counsel/Organizational Integrity Officer, Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center
“Healthcare in the United States is rapidly changing with no clear endpoint. Single payer systems, stimulus funds, PQRI, medical home, declining
reimbursement, aging populations with resulting increase in utilization all will require massive reworking of existing infrastructure and systems. Caught squarely
in the middle is the critical role and function of information systems. At this event, we will revisit the challenges and opportunities associated with the
transition from a retrospective, documentation based system to a proactive, population-based approach.” – Dr. Robert A. Carlson, CIO, Marshfield Clinic
“A superb conference providing a vibrant platform for identifying best in class applications and the technology needed to support it.”
- Dexter W. Shurney, MD, MBA, MPH, Medical Director, Employee Healthcare Plan
“A critical element of a successful EHR implementation is strategically considering how the change will impact future users and how to ensure they are fully
supported through the transition. I look forward to hearing from participants and vendors their strategies and best practices for supporting successful
implementations.” - Jane Dowd, Chief Learning Officer, NorthShore University HealthSystem

“The EHR, for the VA and the DoD has evolved to an expected "utility" in the mangement of clinical care, much like electricity and water-it is essential,
integrated to workflow, and it is becoming "unconscious" both to providers and to patients.” - Dr Doug Rosendale, DO, FACOS, Enerterprise System
Manager, VHA Office of Health Information
“As more, ARRA driven e-record capabilities, including PHRs, are enabled - the nation will appreciate the value of meanigful use coupled to standardized
health information exchange.” - Jack Taylor, MD, Informatics Support, VHA Office of Health Information
“EHR is an essential component in our armamentarium of health care; without it, the road to health will be delayed.” – Dr. Leslie S. Zun, MD, MBA, FAAEM,
Chairman & Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, Chicago Medical School and Mont Sinai Hospital
“I anticipate that physicians will use smart phones for 80-90% of their work with electronic medical records, versus using a computer and keyboard, to do
work such as viewing clinical data, real-time waveforms, medication list, notes, and critical results notifications; dictation and order entry. Smart phone
technology will “disrupt” the healthcare IT vendor space as this new model usurps the vendor model prevalent in the market today.” - Mark Moffitt, CIO,
