  3. Turning Parents Into Database Administrators To Improve The Lives Of Children With Type 1 Diabetes 11/15/2016

    For individuals with type 1 diabetes (such as myself), frequent monitoring of blood glucose is a necessity of life. A blood glucose level that climbs too high or falls too low can lead to dangerous health situations, and keeping relentless track of the level is essential to managing diabetes effectively. To help provide this important information, many individuals wear a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device which includes a hair’s-width under-skin sensor and a small transmitter pack. The CGM measures blood glucose in real-time and sends that data wirelessly to a nearby display device.

  9. Mercy's Law — Hope For The Best, Plan For The Worst 12/3/2015

    EHRs are continuing to transform the healthcare industry for the better — providing critical data to assist physicians, changing how patients are treated, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. As EHRs become a standard of care, clinicians come to count on real-time information, accessible when and where they need and want it. However, as Murphy’s Law states, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. For healthcare organizations relying on EHR systems, it’s not only important that the system perform reliably under optimal conditions — it’s critical the same system works when everything goes wrong.
