Most buyers were replacing existing home health software solutions and preferred cloud-based options. The most commonly requested feature was improved field support and mobile access. While replacement buyers sought more robust solutions, first-time buyers wanted the efficiency benefits of going digital. The majority of buyers represented traditional home health care agencies and sought integrated scheduling, billing, and point of care clinical solutions.
The document discusses the results of a survey of over 230 IT professionals about infrastructure resiliency. It finds that while most organizations have initiatives to improve resiliency, many are still failing to meet their goals. The top challenges are knowledge gaps in best practices and a lack of resources. Frequent testing of availability leads to better results, but downtime events have doubled since 2014, with the most common causes being application errors and system upgrades.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of over 300 senior finance professionals in the UK public sector. It finds that while Excel is still the most commonly used budgeting software, many respondents feel it is significantly challenging and impacts staff time/resources. The top improvements desired are reducing reliance on spreadsheets, improving data accuracy, and providing greater budget visibility and control for departments. It concludes that more sophisticated budget management systems may help public sector organizations work smarter with inevitable funding cuts.
Cloud computing promises to fundamentally transform the global healthcare industry. But most healthcare providers have only just started to understand the power of cloud to not only drive efficiency, but also to redefine collaboration, partnering, and business models.

Your cognitive future: How next-gen computing changes the way we live and workIBM in Healthcare
The healthcare industry is undergoing significant change driven by six disruptive forces - rapid digitization, changing consumer expectations, regulatory complexities, increasing healthcare demand, shortage of skilled resources and elevating healthcare costs. To meet the implication of these forces, healthcare organizations must excel in engaging with consumers, discovering new ideas and taking effective decisions
Currently, traditional analytics capabilities are unable to exploit maximum value from the ever increasing data resource constraining organization’s achievements and performance. But cognitive computing has the ability to bridge this gap and can open up fresh opportunities for the healthcare industry. It is already helping healthcare organizations to provide personalized care, effective decisions and more innovative solutions.
Lindsey Leininger and colleagues analyzed data on Medicaid/BadgerCare Plus applications in Wisconsin submitted between January 2008 and November 2009. They found that 62% of applications were submitted through ACCESS, the state's online portal. Applicants using ACCESS were less likely to be determined eligible for coverage (69%) compared to other methods. ACCESS attracted applicants with lower socioeconomic status at higher rates. The portal also increased rates of spillover applications to other programs but eligibility rates for these spillover applications were lower than for other methods. Wisconsin aims to expand ACCESS for future health insurance exchanges.

Mohamed Shuraih and Yameen Rasheed are from the Maldives and submitted their idea, Blood Drive, to the Sandoz HACk competition. They were one of six finalists selected out of 150 ideas to present to a panel of judges at WIRED Health 2017 in London. These images show part of their journey over the three days that led to winning 20,000 Euros to help fund the implementation of their winning idea as well as Sandoz expert support to bring their idea to life.
The Maldives has the highest prevalence of Thalassemia in the world: this disease affects almost 1/5 Maldivians, according to Mohamed's research. One out of every 120 newborn is born with Thalassemia, and Without regular blood transfusions, 85 percent of these children will die by the age of five, he explains. Put simply, the demand for blood donors is greater than the number of people willing to give blood.
Blood Drive is a blood-donation app that connects blood donors in the Maldives. Through social media, and an innovative rewards system, it incentivizes people to give blood. With his Sandoz HACk idea, Mohamed hopes to ease the burden of Thalassemia in his country.
1) The document analyzes the costs of two approaches to obtaining clean data from electronic medical records (EMRs) - data discipline and data cleansing - and applies this to diabetes management in Canada.
2) A budget impact analysis finds that data cleansing would be quicker to implement and estimated to cost less at $21.6 million compared to $65.5 million for data discipline.
3) The analysis recommends considering a combination of the two approaches to improve data quality for diabetes management, which could save hundreds of millions to the healthcare system and billions to patients through reduced costs and improved health.

Non-traditional machining processes like EDM, USM, and WEDM are useful for machining hard materials and complex shapes with precision. EDM works by using electrical sparks to erode material from a part placed close to an electrode tool, allowing intricate shapes to be produced. USM uses an abrasive slurry and vibrating tool to cut materials. WEDM is similar to EDM but uses a continuously moving wire as the electrode. These non-traditional processes are more precise than traditional machines and can machine tough materials that would be difficult to cut otherwise.

In a post-COVID world, data has the power to be even more transformative, and 84% of business and technology professionals say it represents the best opportunity to develop a competitive advantage during the next 12 to 24 months. Let’s make sure your organization has the intelligence it needs about both data and data systems to empower stakeholders in the front and back office to do what they need to do.
The key findings of the survey of 314 big data professionals are:
- 87% said 'bad data' pollutes their data stores and 74% said 'bad data' is currently in their stores. Ensuring data quality was the top challenge cited.
- 72% build data flows through hand coding while 53% change pipelines several times per month.
- Only 12% rated their ability to detect issues like stopped pipelines or degraded performance as 'good' or 'excellent'.
- There are significant gaps between the real-time visibility needed and what current tools provide across metrics like error rates, divergent data, and privacy detection.
- 81% said upgrading big data components has significant operational impact.

The results are in! Join our expert panel, Kendra Little, Kellyn Pot’Vin Gorman & Grant Fritchey, to dig into key findings from Redgate’s fourth annual State of Database DevOps Report and learn how to use these insights to drive improvements in your own software development process.
Our webinar panel this year includes specialists with expertise in both Oracle and SQL Server, as well as experience implementing and managing Agile methodologies and compliant database DevOps in Enterprise environments.
We will share key findings and insights from this year’s report, which received input from more than two thousand developers, DBAs, and IT leaders worldwide, representing all industry verticals. Topics will include:
• Frequent database deployments are increasing: 49% of respondents now report they deploy database changes to production weekly or more frequently;
• The two top perceived obstacles to implementing DevOps are now concerns about upskilling and disruption to existing workflows. We will discuss how business cases to implement database DevOps should address these concerns;
• Developers are now involved in the majority of production database deployments, continuing an increasing trend we have seen across four years of this study. We will discuss what this means for both developers and DBAs;
• Most respondents deploy changes to their most business-critical databases while the system is online. Those who perform all or nearly all deployments with the system online reported lower lead time for changes and lower defect rates. We will discuss why this makes sense and how teams achieve this;
• Respondents who report that it is easy to get a code review for database changes also report lower production defect rates and lower lead time for changes to be deployed to production. We will discuss how to optimize database code review for different organization and team sizes.
- The document discusses the results of a survey of over 1000 SQL Server professionals on their adoption of DevOps practices and how those practices are applied to database development.
- 47% have adopted DevOps across some or all projects, while 33% plan to adopt within 2 years. The biggest challenges are synchronizing app and database changes and overcoming different development approaches between teams.
- While practices like version control and monitoring are common, only 20% apply continuous integration, testing, and deployment to databases. Moving databases fully to automated deployments is seen as a bigger challenge than for applications.
- Speed of delivery is the main driver for DevOps database practices, along with freeing up developer time. Traditional siloed
This survey was conducted from July 16-29, 2014 to understand organizations' awareness and usage of converged systems. It found that the majority of respondents indicated their organization is either planning a migration or has already migrated some applications to converged systems. The top challenges driving interest in convergence were leveraging the cloud more effectively, complex IT environments, and poor resource utilization. Perceived obstacles included cost uncertainty and lack of skills. Anticipated benefits included improved efficiency, flexibility, and integration cost savings.
The survey found that adoption of agile practices is increasing across organizations and industries. While 94% of respondents said their organizations practiced agile, 60% said less than half of their teams practiced agile and 80% said their organization was still maturing in agile practices. Benefits cited for agile included accelerated delivery, improved visibility, productivity and managing changing priorities. There is still opportunity for growth as many organizations have less than half their teams practicing agile and are still maturing in their agile approach.
The adoption of any new technology can be disruptive to one degree or another. If one relies on anecdotal information collecting in the ether, Hadoop and Big Data appear to tip the scale in the direction of “significant” for both impact and complexity. To understand what is really happening, Sand Hill Group surveyed companies working with Hadoop to get a snapshot of the status of their implementation, how Hadoop is being applied and the quality of their experience.

<p>New research from Experian shows that despite many ongoing data initiatives, 69 percent of organizations struggle to be data-driven. The struggles are real. Companies face a large data debt, look at data projects through a siloed lens, and still have a large volume of inaccurate data. In fact, 65 percent report inaccurate data is undermining key initiatives. <br></p>

<p>However, the tide is turning. Businesses are starting to adopt data enablement, or a practice of empowering a larger group of individuals within the business to understand and harness the power of data and analytics. Companies that empower wider data usage are better able to comply with regulations, improve decision-making, and, of course, deliver a superior customer experience. Are these the results you’re striving for? </p>

Transforming governments through digital technologies. Five factors that inf...Deloitte Canada
This document summarizes the results of a survey on digital government transformation in Canada. Some key findings include:
- Citizen demand is the primary driver of transformation, but citizen engagement in co-creating digital services is low.
- Competing priorities, lack of strategy, and insufficient funding are the top barriers to transformation.
- Most organizations find that their digital capabilities lag behind the private sector and procurement of digital services is challenging.
- Workforce skills, culture, and procurement are also areas that agencies struggle with in their transition to digital.
2021 spring idn summit randy bradley healthcare supply chain challenges and o...LandonArflack
This document discusses healthcare supply chain challenges and opportunities in 2021. It identifies several issues that affected global supply chains in 2020, such as a lack of advanced planning around digitalizing supply chains and limited visibility. The top supply chain challenges are identified as lack of upstream and downstream collaboration, visibility, security, agility, and responsiveness. The document also discusses trends like the shift away from "just in time" models due to COVID-19 disruptions and the need for more digital, connected, collaborative, transparent and agile supply chains. It suggests that healthcare organizations prioritize improving end-to-end visibility, building agile capabilities, and stopping internal silos to address supply chain challenges.
This document summarizes the key findings of a 2014 supply chain planning benchmark study that surveyed over 300 supply chain professionals across industries. The study found that few companies have highly integrated planning environments, and many see opportunities to improve areas like forecast accuracy, sales and operations planning processes, and integration of planning and execution. Companies reported using a variety of planning modules and technologies, with demand planning being most common. The study also found that companies have a range of approaches to planning technology from ERP-dominated to best-of-breed solutions. Most see changes coming to accelerate planning cycles and globalize the planning function.
What we know as “#outsourcing” has been around in one form or another for decades, and so have the predictions of its demise, but it keeps adapting to changing business environments. Today, #outsourcing is not only alive, and well, but it is #growing, and #changing. The results of the #2016GlobalOutsourcingSurvey, which compiled 280 responses representing organizations from across the globe, show that #outsourcing not only continues to expand across mature functions, such as IT, #HR, and #Finance, but it also continues to move into non-traditional functions, such as #Realestate, #FacilitiesManagement, and #Procurement. But, this isn’t the most intriguing part of the story: #Outsourcing is #reinventing itself. Respondents increasingly see #outsourcing as a vital way to drive innovation into the enterprise. In other words, it is increasingly a means of potentially attaining, and maintaining competitive advantage—and not just a way to cut costs.

The platform provides coordination, collaboration, integration and automation capabilities to standardize processes across teams and tools. It also offers insights, approvals and release automation to safely deploy database changes.
This webinar discussed enabling continuous delivery for databases at enterprise scale. It began with an overview of continuous delivery and its benefits. The presentation noted that while continuous delivery practices have been widely adopted for application code, databases are often left behind due to challenges in managing database changes and scripts. It then provided best practices for achieving continuous delivery for databases, including using database version control and tools that can automate deployment while also validating changes. Finally, it explained how the combination of DBmaestro, XebiaLabs XL Deploy, and XebiaLabs XL Release can help implement a continuous delivery pipeline for databases that promotes changes between environments.
ארגונים ברחבי העולם מגבירים את השימוש בתהליכי DevOps לטובת שיפור היתרון התחרותי שלהם, הורדת סיכונים והפחתת עלויות פיתוח. כיום ניתן ליישם את ההצלחה של ה-DevOps בעולם מסדי הנתונים, על ידי ביצוע אוטומציה של תהליכי הפיתוח והעברה בין סביבות, אכיפת מנגנוני אבטחה, והפחתת הסיכונים הכרוכים בתהליך.
This document provides an overview of a webinar on best practices for continuous delivery and including databases. It discusses how continuous delivery is becoming more important and widespread. However, databases are often left out of continuous delivery processes due to challenges like manual scripting and lack of version control. To fully realize the benefits of continuous delivery, databases need to be brought into the process through practices like source control for all files including database scripts, automation, and ensuring the database is in sync with other code changes. Vendor tools discussed help achieve this through features like database version control, deployment automation, and change impact analysis.

Your database holds your company's most sensitive and important assets- your data. All those customers' personal details, credit card numbers, social security numbers- you can't afford leaving them vulnerable to any- outside or inside- breaches.
The document discusses the challenges that retail companies face with database downtime and changes. It notes that downtime can result in significant lost revenue for retailers. Common database development practices like using scripts are outlined as being difficult to maintain and not providing adequate change control. The solution, DBmaestro TeamWork, is presented as providing database version control, enforcement of best practices for database changes, automated deployments between environments, and overall improved productivity and quality.
This document discusses database automation and the mistrust that can exist around it. A survey found that while continuous delivery is on the rise, database automation sees less adoption due to mistrust. Database changes can impact whole systems, so any automation must be done carefully. Script-based version control and deployment can lead to issues like out-of-process changes and working on wrong revisions. Integrating databases into version control and continuous delivery processes through tools like DBmaestro can bring more visibility, control and trust to database changes and deployments. This is done by enforcing best practices, tracking who made changes, and facilitating automated but safe deployments through capabilities like baseline comparisons and impact analysis.
The document summarizes findings from a survey on continuous delivery practices. The survey found that while 81% of organizations practiced some form of continuous delivery for their code, only around 50% did so for their databases. Key challenges included a lack of database version control, manual scripting processes prone to errors, and a lack of trust and communication between developers and database administrators. Adopting database version control, automated deployments informed by version control data, and making DBAs responsible for continuous delivery processes could help address these challenges and barriers to fully implementing continuous delivery for databases.
The webinar discussed challenges with database development and version control. Traditional script-based approaches cause issues like out-of-process changes, working on the wrong code revisions, and lack of history tracking for database changes. The presenters demonstrated a database version control solution that enforces a coordinated development process, integrates with existing version control systems, and provides automated deployment to eliminate errors from manual scripting. Key benefits included parallel development, fast bug detection, and streamlined provisioning with reduced risks from human errors.
This document discusses the challenges and pitfalls of database deployment automation. It notes that databases are often overlooked in development processes and can become weak links. Manual scripting approaches can lead to errors from out-of-process changes and working on the wrong revisions. The document recommends enforcing a coordinated development process using database version control and change management. This allows traceability of changes and ensures deployments are based on known revisions to avoid breaking production environments. Automation is presented as an important part of the solution when integrated with version control baselines and configuration management.
