“Decision-makers at Vancouver Costal Health (VCH) are hoping a pilot project currently under way at Richmond Health Services in Richmond, BC., will help determine the best way to provide “last mile connectivity” to primary care physicians and specialists throughout its region and perhaps even the province.”
The article describes the pilot in some detail:

In this article in Physicians Practice, subtitled “Steps to a Successful EMR Implementation,” Elaine Zablocki
writes that
“… selecting and installing an EMR is just the
first step in a major process that will transform the workflow within
your office. You can’t just flip a switch and expect the transition to
take care of itself. Taking the time to visualize all the essential
implementation steps will lead to a smooth, successful conversion.”
She goes on to lay out steps you can and should take in your implementation process.

This web site covers an number of things of interest to me in my professional life:
- Complex Event Processing (CEP) – an
emerging way of looking at ways to manage the complexity inherent in
our global and enterprise computer and communications systems
- Cybernetics – the science of
communication and control in animal and machine – especially the design
of viable business systems according to Stafford Beer’s VSM (viable

from collision detection: Are smarter people better at ignoring things?
A team
testing the “visual working memory” of a group of subjects by getting them to look at red and blue bricks in a picture found, much their suprise, that people with the largest capacity VWM weren't actually retaining lots of additional information, but infact were simply selective in what they retained….or possibly the real genius comes in stripping out inessential information (filtering) and holding only in mind the red bricks that the researchers asked them to pay attention to.
