HIMSS - Real Payer and Provider Collaborations - FinalDaniel Abdul
This document summarizes an upcoming event from HIMSS MN on the role of providers and payers in improving health outcomes through interoperability. The event will feature Daniel Abdul from UCare discussing challenges with interoperability including different views of data, missing clinical notes, and proprietary standards slowing progress. Abdul argues that truly putting patients first requires a unified view of their information and goals across all care teams. Security concerns cannot be an excuse for inaction on interoperability which is necessary to improve chronic care, reduce redundant questions, and enable learning from patient outcomes. The future requires information sharing in near real-time based on patient preferences.

Measuring web content readability and consistency for universitiesVisibleThread
Clear & consistent web content is critical for universities where student acquisition and retention are big drivers. Poor content reflects badly on your institution, and puts a cognitive burden on students trying to complete tasks online. It can even lead to lost business.
For example; prospective international students conducting online research may churn to another college based on complex content on your ‘student admission’ pages. Content that is often overly legalese and lifted from hard copy brochures. When you have thousands of pages, spread across multiple domains, measuring this complex stuff is really hard.
We presented this deck as part of the TerminalFour’s user conference in Boston & Dublin, Nov 2013. If you’re on a university marketing team and need to identify & fix poor content that impacts site experience, you’ll find this useful.
We show an example case study from the University of the Arts London. They identified complex content on highly trafficked parts of the site using VisibleThread Clarity Grader. They also used ‘dictionary scans’ to pick up outdated & inconsistent brand references in the web copy. Something that normally would take days to do.

Project communications management involves identifying stakeholders, planning communications, distributing information, managing stakeholder expectations, and reporting performance. Effective communication is key, as project managers spend most of their time communicating. The communication process includes encoding messages, transmitting messages through a medium which can include noise, and decoding the message. Planning communications involves analyzing requirements, selecting communication methods and models. Information is then distributed according to the plan using various written and verbal techniques. Stakeholder expectations are managed through applying communication and interpersonal skills. Performance is reported using tools like Gantt charts and S-curves.

Digital Conversations - Agile Creative TechnologyReading Room
The next phase of the digital communications revolution; the great collision of open source cloud technologies with agile, creative delivery", we will explore how digital leaders in government around the world are driving down costs and improving engagement by;
• employing new rapid digital delivery models in favour of the "big bang"
• applying user-centric thinking
• embracing open source tools for digital personalisation, optimisation and increased engagement
• personalising content for anonymous website visitors without the cost of big commercial software
Agile software development is an iterative approach that promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, rapid response to change, and close collaboration. It values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. The Agile Manifesto introduced these values in 2001 to provide an alternative to failure-prone processes. Agile methods help teams deliver working software frequently in short iterations to better satisfy customer needs.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Editor's Notes
Description
In mid-2014, the Irish Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/ prioritised a project focused on making web content more understandable and accessible to the general public/citizenry of Ireland.
In this lively presentation, Niamh Buckley, Digital Communications Project Manager with the Irish Department of Communications will jointly present with Fergal McGovern, CEO of VisibleThread. VisibleThread is a company that provided some of the automated scoring tooling using during this project. Niamh will share strategies on how she was able to educate content authors about the core principles of Plain Language.
Niamh will also tell the story of how the department was able to use technology to quickly score large areas of a web site for Clear Language. This automated approach served to flag issues for focus, and saved many cycles. The result was a focus on editorial activities to produce clearer, more relevant content for target personae. Fergal will help explain some of the use cases where VisibleThread technology was applied with real content examples.
Attendees will leave knowing:
Lessons learned from an active content optimization project with a focus on Plain Language,
How to drive towards clearer more understandable content in a government setting,
Challenges for government agencies and other larger corporates with lots of content authored by different communities,
The pros and cons of using technology to help identify complex or unclear content,
How to plan for and execute on a content migration strategy.
