		<title>Dissertation defence broadcast live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this blog post about a live-streamed dissertation defence. For those who don&#8217;t know, dissertation defences are usually closed-door meetings. At the PhD level, the candidate usually makes a presentation (usually about 20 minutes) summarizing his/her research to the voting members of the panel. Most schools require a minimum of three voting members [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;y&#8221; in GE Healthymagination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, I noticed a series of advertisements being played repeatedly promoting GE Healthymagination. The ads themselves were fairly well done and seemed to do a good job of conveying the message that GE is serious about health care and about being an innovation leader.
Each time I watched the ad, I kept [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kaiser Permanente keeps chugging along with EHR implementation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[UPDATE] I forgot to mention that Kaiser was also recognized as one of the world&#8217;s most innovative companies (2010) for its work on EHRs by Fast Company (link to the 2010 list of most innovative companies). I&#8217;m probably biased, but Kaiser Permanente&#8217;s Sidney R. Garfield Health Care Innovation Centre sounds quite a bit like the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google and health privacy &#8211; is it enough?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure what to make of this &#8220;warning&#8221; that Google provides to users of its Google Health service as reported in a recent post on Blogoscoped.
&#160;&#160;
I can&#8217;t say that I&#8217;m completely up to speed on my health information privacy regulations, but this does seem to be a bit odd. This type of message can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nurse Order Entry &#8211; an alternative to CPOE?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Getting physicians to enter their own orders on computerized systems has and continues to be a challenge to those in the health informatics field. Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is often used as a measure of success. Given how the health care systems in North America are structured, getting physicians on-board and using information systems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Has ehealth become toxic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent article titled &#8220;The chopping block: Which way Infoway?&#8221; makes me wonder if the term ehealth has become toxic in Canada.
First, a little bit of context. The National Post has been publishing a series of articles/comments on potential things to cut in order to bring (federal) government spending under control. Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) [...]]]></description>
