The Joint Commission Experience
2009-06-28 20:19:00 Some people have asked me what I did last week and what this "Joint Commission" thing is. Especially if you see patients in the hospital on a daily basis, hearing the words "The Joint Commission" (TJC) should make you a little tense.For lack of a better term, TJC is a regulatory agency who inspects hospitals every three years or so to review hospital policies and procedures to maximize patient safety. Unfortunately, what is covered in the news a lot are patients sometimes accidentally harmed when they come to the hospital. How can this happen you ask? Most times, it is the breakdown of processes that occur in the hospital - in addition to human error.Anyway, TJC comes to hospital unannounced to conduct their survey. So, for the past year or so, the hospital has been preparing (by reviewing and updating policies and procedures) and wondering when TJC was going to stop by. It happened last week.Being the Chief of Staff for the docs of my hospital, I'm one of the people that the TJC r...

Kangaroo Facing Evolution Or Death | Competition Commission Gives Verdict
2008-12-06 01:11:00 Kangaroo, a British rival to the U.S. Hulu, is facing evolution or death after the Competition Commission refused to accept it in its current form. Kangaroo Lives Back in November 2007, the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, four broadcasters in the UK, announced plans for a joint online video on demand venture.

Kangaroo would see all three services combined under one umbrella, while all would still also operate independently. 90% of the programming will be free, paid for by advertising. This would see the license fee-funded BBC making money as well as the commercial companies involved. Kangaroo Falters Kangaroo was first meant to launch sometime in 2008, but July saw those plans take a battering after rival UK broadcasters BSkyB and Virgin Media complained about the plans to the OFT (O...

Dating commission: Revenue share or revenue per action?
2008-06-03 18:27:00 In September last year, I wrote an article entitled, ‘Make recurring commission your preference‘. Very often, recurring commission structures are the most profitable in the long term. Having said this though, the commission structure that is right for you depends on your community, its members and its traffic. Always experiment You will never know what works best for your online community unless you experiment. Revenue sharing commissions from online dating sites can be extremely lucrative if you can send members that will continue to renew their accounts month after month. You won’t know for sure what kind of traffic you have until you start experimenting. Example commissions Let’s look at an American dating affiliate program, and a British dating affiliate program: FriendFinder $2 per free female member $1 per free male member OR $25 for every order regardless of value OR Up to 60% of initial and recurring orders EasyDate £2.50 per free female me...

As part of the European Commission's e-Inclusion Initiative, the Awards will celebrate the best and most imaginative uses of Information and Communications Technology to reduce digital and social exclusion. Digital technologies are an essential part of daily life. We use them at work, in day-to-day relationships, in dealing with public services, and a lot more besides. They touch our lives in ways which we are often unaware of, or don’t even think about. Yet an estimated 1 in 3 Europeans fail to benefit from new technologies. Overcoming this ‘digital exclusion’ is not just a social necessity, it is estimated that it could be worth up to €85 billion to European companies and governments over the next five years. The European e-Inclusion Awards aim to inspire p...
Full Disk Encryption Could Have Saved Oklahoma Corporation Commission A Bun
2008-05-22 08:04:00 Joe Sill bought fifty computers from a government auction. His intent, according to koco.com, was to refurbish and resell them. Instead, he?s had to put a hold on those plans because he found over 5000 Social Security numbers in the computers? hard drives. If only those drives had full disk encryption on them; then, Sill would have just installed a new OS and be done with it. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the source of the computers, is not to blame for the data breach, though (or, perhaps, they deserver partial blame). It turns out that they don?t usually handle sensitive information, so they left the hard drives behind in the computers for the auction. So where did the SSNs come from? Apparently, the computers were used by the Oklahoma Tax Commission before being transferred to the Corporation Commission. They may both be government entities but, just like the IRS shouldn?t have access to top secret information from the CIA, ...
