"Social Business for Healthcare Social is everywhere. Patients and providers are living in a socially networked world. Healthcare is a social business. Are you ready? Social businesses leverage collaboration capabilities to connect people and break down traditional boundaries. They activate networks of people that apply relevant content and expertise to improve and accelerate how work gets done. This is a demonstration of social business capabilities applied to healthcare for improved patient outcomes and efficiency of care delivery. See examples of connecting providers across acute and ambulatory care settings in new ways via social business technologies and open standards. Featured technologies include IBM Connections social business software for healthcare and IBM InfoSphere® HC solutions built on Initiate® technology.
Accountable Care Organizations - Early Lessons Learned from Strong Revenue Cy...GE Healthcare - IT
When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Innovation
announced plans to select organizations for its Shared Savings
Accountable Care Organization program in April 2011 via a proposed
rule, reactions within the healthcare community were mixed. Some
were excited by the prospect of a push for more coordinated and
integrated care networks, while others criticized the specifics of the
proposal, concerned that the level of provider risk and other provisions
would make the model unsustainable over time. Subsequently, the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Final Rule
on Shared Savings Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) that was
much more positively received throughout the healthcare community.
CMS then followed the Final Rule with an April 2012 announcement,
adding 27 initial Share Savings ACOs to its original 32 Pioneer ACO
group. With this backdrop in place, it’s clear that accountable care
is more than the latest healthcare buzzword. Today, there is a clear
change in the focus of healthcare providers, with an emphasis on
shifting the focus of payment for hospitals, physicians, and other
healthcare entities towards integrated care and a focus on value and
quality of care rather than the volume of services provided.¹
Case Study: Transforming the Worker's Compensation ExperienceMiron Construction
The ideal worker’s compensation experience should encompass
three ecology items that must be integrated as the basis for
the transformation. By understanding the outcomes of all three
areas in conjunction, with one another sustainable change can
take place allowing for a patient-specific, effective, time-saving
experience.

WEBINAR FROM

(Can listen to audio there)
Healthy work cultures are not "built" as much as "nudged" over time. Nudge means gradual, intentional, peer-to-peer positive interaction and encouragement. Recognized in the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), "Team Awareness" (TA) has provided nudge training to over 10,000 workers in various industries. Join this session to learn how any culture of health effort must consider the work group, leadership, and social health.
We will explain how TA works, how to start using quick tools from TA, and three tenets of wellness cultures: (1) Costs are incurred if you only invest in individual health when the work culture is toxic; (2) Strong wellness program don't guarantee worker engagement; (3) The strongest workplace influence on employee health is his or her immediate work-group and supervisor.
This third tenet is a force-multiplier which you can jump-start by empowering work groups to know their health benefits, coping skills, tolerance levels for unhealthy practices, by reviewing basic listening skills, and through NUDGE: Notice who may need your encouragement; Understand your role; Decide if you should say something; if so, use GUIDELINES for communication, and then Encourage!
Following the webinar, participants will be able to:
describe the six modules of Team Awareness and why it has been so effective
use tools from the Team Awareness curriculum
understand the basic steps of nudging

Transportation costs and spatial integration of agricultural commodity market...Mallami
Transport and the Millennium Development goals in Africa” working document is that efficient operation of transport infrastructure will contribute towards eradication of extreme poverty and of hunger (MDG 1) and enhance international cooperation in support of economic development (MDG 8). An implicit assumption behind this premise is that reduced transport costs will increase spatial market integrations, allowing for specialization within and across countries thereby maximizing benefits from trade. This paper evaluates the potential impacts from reduced transportation costs on intra- and inter-country integration of agricultural commodities markets.

http://positivetranceformations.com.au/blog/sad-and-hypnotherapy/ SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is not a huge problem on the Gold Coast, but it does happen. SAD is caused by people not getting enough exposure to sunlight, as sunlight stimulates the pineal gland to produce feel-good chemicals. To overcome despondency caused by a spell of gloomy weather, get outside more to chill out and to exercise, increase your exposure to natural light and eat more oily fish.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
