MA CG R E G O R MICH A E L BE NA R I Mount Auburn Hospital: Physician Order Entry Introduction In September of 2002, Robert Todd, the head of information systems (IS) for Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reviewed progress toward the launch of the hospital’s new computerized physician order entry (POE) system. The committee overseeing the project consisted of an across-the-board selection of hospital representation, including physicians, pharmacy staff, nurses, administrators, and IS operations staff. The POE system was scheduled to ‚go live‛ on a pilot basis in the middle of October in the hospital’s labor and delivery unit. It had not been difficult to mount support for the project. POE systems had been demonstrated to reduce error rates, and medical errors were widely recognized as a large and serious problem in health care. A landmark study published in 19911 estimated that 1.3 million injuries occurred annually in U.S. hospitals, 69% of which were at last partially due to errors in patient management. The study found that 13% of injuries resulted in patient death, ‚a rate that if extrapolated to the United States as a whole suggested that approximately 180,000 deaths a year were, at least partly, the result of injuries received during the course of care.‛2 This study also found that adverse drug events (ADEs) accounted for nearly 20% of total injuries (making them the largest...

Some opinions: “Supply and Demand - that’s all there is to economics. The rest is nonsense.” “Economics is about what everyone knows in a language that nobody understands.” “Economics explains the price of everything and the value of nothing.” “Economists are quite unique in their failure to solve a single one of the problems of their profession.” John Papworth Economist– the one profession where you can gain great eminence without ever being right.” George Meany While these views / opinions of economics / economists contain some element of truth, they hardly give a meaningful insight into the nature of the subject and the work of economists. What is Economics? Many definitions have been offered for Economics. Mostly, they focus on two inter-related approaches to the above question: 1. 2 the problems that Economics deals with; and the methods that economists use in dealing with these problems. An example of the ‘problem’ type of definition is given below: “Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.” Lord Robbins 1929 Simply put, Economics can be defined as the social science which studies...

...Solution Overview Smarter Video Surveillance with NETGEAR® Solution Overview Abstract and Audience NETGEAR® Solution Overviews provide high-level solutions to common business IT challenges for end users, Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and IT managers. They give an elementary overview and basic business benefits, and are commonly used during the initial inquiry stage. Introduction Video surveillance, or CCTV (closed-circuit television), is a 30-year old industry that is critical for business. Different organizations use video surveillance to protect people’s safety, protect valuable assets, or minimize risks associated with criminal activity. One of the biggest trends in surveillance is the accelerating shift to IP from analog. With about 15 million surveillance cameras installed in the United States today, almost 10 percent are now IP based. In the past, only larger companies could afford IP video surveillance. The proliferation of IP networks and the falling prices on IP video cameras and storage has made video capture and storage over IP networks faster, more reliable, simpler, and affordable; making these solutions an attractive option for many industry sectors, including retail shops, educational institutions, governments, and any business requiring security surveillance. The Benefits of IP Cameras for Video Surveillance Secure and Easy Access to Live Video Steams and Recorded Footage One of the biggest drawbacks to traditional analog CCTV...

...BACKGROUND Because this is an appeal from the denial of a motion for summary judgment, we construe the evidence in the light most favorable to Poe, the non-moving party. See, e.g., Goldberg v. Cablevision Sys. Corp., 261 F.3d 318, 324 (2d Cir.2001). I. Factual Background A. The Filming of the Trooper Candidate Testing Videos At some time during the fall of 1992, several administrative officials of the Connecticut State Police ("CSP") and the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services began to revise the testing procedures for trooper candidates at the CSP Training Academy ("police academy"). Captain Leonard, who had just assumed command of the CSP Bureau of Selections and Training,[1] supervised this ongoing project along with Dr. Martin Anderson ("Dr. Anderson"), the Chief Personnel Psychologist for the State of Connecticut. A particular focus of this project was the development 127*127 of several testing videos, designed to screen out those trooper candidates with poor observational and communicative skills. In essence, trooper candidates would be required to view a videotaped scene of a crime or other representative "real life" scenario that CSP officers typically confront and then to explain what they had observed. As originally planned, the video scenes would include a variety of circumstances: a depiction of a person driving while intoxicated, a man with a weapon who stops and robs a victim, a simple trespass, a "static" crime scene, and a scene with a distraught...

...Unit 2 Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849) [pic] The American Romanticism I. What is Romanticism Originated in the second half of the 18th century, romanticism was a key movement in the Counter-Enlightenment, a reaction against the Age of Enlightenment. Romanticism emphasized intuition, imagination, and feeling, to a point that has led to some Romantic thinkers being accused of irrationalism. Romanticism focuses on Nature; a place free from society's judgement and restrictions. Romanticism blossomed after the age of Rationalism, a time that focused on handwork and scientific reasoning. Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper, and those of the late period contain Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe. II.Features of American romanticism Edgar Allen Poe(1809 - 1849) the most controversial and most misunderstood literary figure. a Bohemian（吉普赛人）, depraved（堕落） and demonic（恶魔的）, a villain（恶棍） with no virtue at all. Mark Twain declared his prose to be unreadable. But Eliot proclaimed him a critic of the first rank. He enjoyed respect and welcome greatly in Europe. He is the father of psychoanalytic criticism. In deed, Poe places the subconscious condition of the mind under investigation and probes beneath the surface of normal existence. What interests him most is the deep abyss of the unconsciousand subconscious mental activity of the people, His theories for the short story and poetry are remarkable...

...Poetry, prose, sonnets, drama, plays, short stories and novels are concepts that first came to my mind when I think in the question “What is literature?” The definition of literature has change over time. The only thing that is certain about the meaning of literature is that the definition will change. The concepts about what is literature about also change over time. In order to get a clear understanding of exactly what literature is, first we need to know its definition. According to the Merriam-Webster, literature is defined by “the body of written works produced in a particular language, country, or age; the body of writings on a particular subject: printed matter.” Literature has to do with letters, but some people often think that literature is only one thing, not knowing that it is composed by several elements that we use every day. These important elements include poems, prose, sonnets, drama, plays, short stories and novels. Poetry is created from the soul. It comes from your emotions and it needs every piece of creativity inside you. It has been called the art of “saying the unsayable” because trough this you can express your feelings with no limit, and nobody can tell you that is wrong. If you make a poem and you think it is not good enough, well it is no good. You as the author or the reader, can only judge if it is good or but for you but maybe for some one else it is the opposite as it is for you. A good place to start when looking back at how poetry...

...Support for High-Definition IP Cameras DeVry University NETW206: Introduction to Switching Submitted to: Yves Gollo Professor: Yves Gollo Date: 9-14-13 Understanding of the purpose of the operations at hand is key to the function of the change in the university. The main purpose of the case study presented is to present the task of implementing a high definition security video surveillance system solution that can replace and magnify what already exists at DeVry University today. As mentioned, DeVry requests a high definition security system that is to require the following features: 1. PoE (Power over Ethernet), avoid any additional wiring, the mounting of power bricks or using power injectors. Conserve and confine; 2. Segment camera IP traffic from the existing network for security purposes; 3. Provide sufficient bandwidth for full HD support; 4. Support a minimum of 150 cameras; 5. Comply with the cisco hierarchical design model; 6. Integrate 1Gb uplinks; and 7. Minimize rack space. During this process, DeVry has not yet purposed a budget for this action taken for this project but as any company would, DeVry would like the most cost efficient method possible. With such a request as this, it seems almost impossible to find such a camera that can withstand everything. Almost as if it was an indestructible camera seeming almost impossible until there was some research conducted. The discovery of the D-Link DCS-7513 Full HD Day &...

...A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM?: OBERGEFELL V. HODGES Kenji Yoshino The decision in Obergefell v. Hodges1 achieved canonical status even as Justice Kennedy read the result from the bench. A bare majority held that the Fourteenth Amendment required every state to perform and to recognize marriages between individuals of the same sex.2 The majority opinion ended with these ringing words about the plaintiffs: “Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”3 While Obergefell’s most immediate effect was to legalize same-sex marriage across the land, its long-term impact could extend far beyond this context. To see this point, consider how much more narrowly the opinion could have been written. It could have invoked the equal protection and due process guarantees without specifying a formal level of review, and then observed that none of the state justifications survived even a deferential form of scrutiny. The Court had adopted this strategy in prior gay rights cases.4 Instead, the Court issued a sweeping statement that could be compared to Loving v.
