Health Care, The Internet and the Consumers
Excellent healthcare demands that physicians provide the patients with accurate and current information in a timely manner. Recently, there have been several revolutionary innovations in globalization of information with controlled data flow. Search Engines, Wikis, Blogs and Forums; some of the most famous mass collaboration means; have proved to be the most disruptive development in the todays business.
Knowledge boundaries (in health care) are becoming more porous. The patients are becoming more knowledgeable. The care providers are gaining more knowledge on the technological front. The authors objective is to help identify the domain areas that are involved in bringing availability and sharing of data in a global environment where everybody is a patient and everybody can be defined as a care provider.

Standardization & Certification: The truth just sounds different.
Over the past couple of years, many standards and certifications have evolved to
improvise the design and functionality of Electronic Medical Records [EMR].
Various factors involving the timing, the right players, market history,
utility, governance play a key role in the overall enrichment of the standard
and certification. It has been argued by the author that these standards and
certifications even though seem to bring uniformity in the EMR development, do
not guarantee their acceptability and sustainability in the long run. |

Electronic Medical Records and Continuity of Care Records - The Utility
Theory Continuity of Care Records (CCR) is becoming the chosen standard
for exchange of patient information for the industry-wide effort to improve the
quality of Health Information Transportability (HIT) encompassing the broad
range of errors, events and near misses. CCR brings forward the ability of
electronic medical records (EMRs) to operate in conjunction with each other
embracing communication protocols, hardware, software, application, and data
compatibility layers. It is argued that with better guiding policies and current
technology, the continuity of care will facilitate a smooth transition of
patient information across multiple practices with different EMRs. The author
identifies the utility theory playing an important role in the establishment of
CCR as a standard applicable to the growing healthcare industry. |

Electronic Medical Records: Who Governs the Design? Past healthcare
research on Electronic Medical Records has focused mainly on evaluating
healthcare information technology that intends to obtain a carefully chosen
controlled environment for healthcare services. Little is written or spoken
about the forces that shape the EMR. In this paper the author identifies the
forces governing the EMR design, including the dominant forces of privacy and
security that can possibly promote sustainability of the healthcare industry. |

Evaluation of Digital Certificates adoption in the E-business environment
One of the major problems facing the Internet business today is the thorny
question of trust and security. People do not trust the web fearing that their
transactions might not be safe. Increased trust in the safety of online dealings
has numerous benefits, of which revenue and profitability is the most
significant. The author discusses the tonceptual frameworks that assist in
developing awareness about Certificate Authorities that provide Digital
Certificates. The current market type of the digital certificates market along
with the role of resellers is discussed in this paper. |
