[image source_type=”attachment_id” source_value=”4633″ align=”left” size=”small” quality=”100″] Roanoke, VA December 6, 2012:  The Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) has chosen SiteVision to develop a specialized nursing home module for the Association’s Emergency Preparedness Program – GHA911. The online website portal is a web browser-based application created to enhance the distribution of critical emergency management information needed by Georgia hospital and healthcare providers, as well as other local and state agencies.

GHA is a non-profit trade association whose mission is to promote the health and welfare of the public through the development of better hospital care for Georgia’s citizens.  The Georgia911 website provides a hub for vital news, information, tools and diversion status for Georgia hospitals and EMS organizations.  SiteVision was earlier chosen to implement a Crisis Care Module. The new module will modify the existing GHA911 application to handle the needs of Nursing Homes.

As threats to human health and national health security are always present, whether by natural, unintentional or intentional means, such threats can rapidly overwhelm public health and healthcare systems.  Under the guidance of US department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and its Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) GHA focuses on preparedness planning and response to strengthen the capabilities of Georgia hospitals and health care systems in public health emergencies and medical disasters. The GHA911 hub is critical to this mission.

The new effort is designed to bring Long-term care and nursing homes into the Georgia 911 portal; thereby, further enhancing the healthcare coalitions between Georgia’s state and local entities and between various public and private health care institutions.

Specifically SiteVision will modify the existing GHA911 application to include Nursing Homes and Nursing Home Management Organizations (NHMO’s) with custom member home pages, navigation specific to nursing homes, and new data points specific to nursing homes such as contact information and key personnel.  New administration features will help manage organization approvals, bed counts, and special needs. Included are Training videos and help documentation. A variety of other enhancements include the ability to update ad hoc and Council Coordinator reports.

Tech Toys For The Holidays

Let’s get unreal.  How ‘bout this floating home?  Really?  The conceptual Trilobis 65 is both a sleek house and a sleek ride as featured in Doornob Design Ideas. It includes an underwater observatory so you can watch Jaws watching you, and worth a look, if only to dream about

On a more reasonable note, however, how about the new Nexus 4 Google Phone?  Oh, I forgot, as of this writing (11/27) it’s sold out.  Bummer.  But when and if it comes back to play, it’s unlocked, very smart and priced to sell at $299 for an 8Gig, GSM, HSPA+.  Operative word unlocked!  It’s fast, capable, and gets great reviews.

Update Google Nexus4!   It was literally just revealed that the Nexus 4 would be back in stock 11/27 at 12:00 PM PST. So depending on when you read this, you can pick one up.

Update 2!  This is getting fun (ridiculous). Goggle’s Nexus Cart broke almost immediately with unprecedented demand!  About 7:30 PM my cart finally went through.  If you happened to order one, hopefully yours did too. So now the wait.  For early orders it was 4 to 5 weeks.  Now I see it’s up to 8 or 9.

Other phones getting huge press are the Samsung Galaxy III and the Galaxy Note 2 and the ever present iPhone.  Unless you have a deep pocket, however, you’ll need to get them on contract, and you already know how that game plays.

There’s also the Sweet little Nexus 7 tablet, available now with 3G+ data.  Great price for a great 7” tablet.  For about $299 you can get a 32G with data.  The other iterations cost less and get strong reviews as well. There is also the new Kindle Fire at a great price, but somewhat  geared to the Amazon ecosystem.

And for you Apple fans, well, there’s the Apple ecosystem you know and love with the new Mini great, but feeling a little rushed and maybe a bit long in the tooth. A new mini is supposed to get the retina display.

According to some, the new 7” (give or take) tablet form factor may just be the sweet spot in tablets going forward.  We’re still waiting for flexible tablets which may not be all that far off (years, but not decades?)

November Newsletter: Windows 8. Hot Mess or . . .

 Windows 8. Hot Mess or Innovative Must Have?

[image source_type=”attachment_id” source_value=”4452″ align=”left” size=”Small 150 width” quality=”95″]Microsoft’s launch of Windows 8 is creating plenty of stir, and reviewers give it mixed (really mixed) reviews. Some call it a Schizophrenic mess. Others, not so harshly, say that because of Windows OS dominance worldwide and its legacy support, there’s really no getting around it – eventually – that appearing to be the operative word.

Information Week, quoting a Gartner analyst, claims that while Windows apps dominated by up to 95 percent in the mid-90’s, that figure has dropped to 50 per cent in the last years, and overall less than half of the most common enterprise apps are now OS specific. In other words, the world is becoming less PC centric and more vested in the cloud. Nevertheless, Gartner claimed, IT departments are almost forced to consider Microsoft Office first, since the alternatives are still a work in progress, and because MS Office has an enormous worldwide footprint.

Importantly, Michael Silver, the Gartner Analyst, felt that up to 90 percent of IT departments will skip a broad Windows upgrade for at least a few years. According to Silver, Microsoft knows it, and the new Windows iterations are really all about selling more tablets and extending share of the mobile market.

Now for the Schizophrenia. According to most reviewers, Windows 8 loves to be touched. If you’re a Win tablet user, that’s not so bad. If you’re a PC user, it can be really annoying and frustrating. This is because it’s a touch-oriented experience from the get go, and using your mouse in the traditional way is confusing and unappealing. Add another odd iteration for low cost tablets, the RT UI, and things get foggier yet. This version won’t run existing applications, uses only the Metro UI, and is only available bundled with the new device you’ll have to buy. You’ll need all new apps (whose and when?), and currently costs about as much as iPad. So, any big benefit is yet to be discovered. It does, by the way, come bundled with Office, but that’s it. Oh, and what about all the apps you’ve come to know and love?

In all, however, at least for the time being, it appears that some 600 million (plus) PC’s will eventually need an upgrade, and the some 400 million new units sold will come bundled with, you guessed it, Windows 8.

New Reviews are coming in fast. Several informative links are below to help you digest the pats and pans.

Beware Poison Ivy Trojan, $20 Tablets?, Top Tech & Infrastructure Trends, HTML 5.0? . . .

IN THE NEWS

[image source_type=”attachment_id” source_value=”4369″ align=”left” size=”Small 150 width”] Poison Ivy Trojan Exploits IE Flaw

Within the last week or so, researchers revealed a security hole in Microsoft Internet Explorer that can allow the takeover of a PC that happens to visit a site rigged to take advantage of the flaw.  Dubbed a zero-day vulnerability, the hack, according to researchers, is being used by the Nitro Crime gang to install the Poison Ivy Trojan.  The flaw affects hundreds of millions of users and includes IE 6-9 and systems running Win7 and earlier.

Microsoft has now issued an urgent emergency patch to replace some awkward workarounds they had first suggested.

Warning:   If your system is not set for automatic updates, you will want to take action sooner rather than later or, perhaps, switch browsers until you have.

Top Tech Trends:  Caution Baby Genius at Work

So what’s down the pike?  While there may be some surprises, it’s likely that the trends we’re experiencing right now will solidify.  But there may be a few twists.

Forbes believes that tablets are gonna’ get cheap – not just less expensive – but really cheap: like under $20.  If this prediction materializes, it means tablets, phablets (mobile units in one form or another) will become as common as baby food. This kind of universal adoption will have huge global implications for education, business mobility, communications; literally all facets of our daily world — learning, communicating, interacting, buying, selling, — well you get the point. Forbes also thinks (and most agree) in the next year there will continue to be strong moves in mobile payments, Wearable computing, IT computing in the cloud, Software as a Service, and stronger TV to Internet integration.

On a more technical level, top infrastructure trends and issues as outlined by Gartner and published in Networking World are intriguing as well. Among them:

Out in the weeds?  Google offline maps might save your bacon.

A tip from WorldStart:  A recent update (for Android 2.2 and up) includes a feature which offers the ability to download maps into a mobile device. These maps (up to a 10 mile radius) can then be viewed without a data signal. Also, with GPS enabled, your location and orientation will be displayed (orientation is available if your device is equipped with a compass). However, a data connection will still be necessary for a satellite view, or to get directions.  You can go to Google Maps and test the offline and download capabilities, or to WorldStart to see a walk-thru.

This might be particularly helpful if you’re being sent out on a snipe hunt with the requisite paper bag.

W3C Plans To Deliver HTML 5.0 by 4th Quarter 2014


The Worldwide Web Consortium has developed a plan that would see the HTML 5 Specs delivered as a Candidate Recommendation by the end of 2014.  HTML 5.0 would be followed by HTML 5.1 by the end of 2016 according to the new initiative.  HTML 5.0 would include only those features that are specified as stable and implemented in real browsers. In tandem, a draft of HTML 5.1 will be developed and include the HTML 5.0 Candidate Recommendation, plus all the unstable features that were excluded. The concept is to continue this process.  The effort is part of an overall plan to break down a complete finished standard into more manageable and cohesive parts.

Corning Flexible Glass Might Change Our Future:

As technology speeds along, there is, every now and then, an introduction that makes your heart beat a little faster simply because the implications could be so huge.  Corning’s new high quality Willow Glass is just such a breed.  It rolls up like a newspaper.  It’s ultra, ultra thin (0.1 millimeters) – think of a human hair – and could be used, among a myriad of other possibilities, to create lightweight flexible Smartphones of the future.  Other ideas include roll to roll processing of electronic circuitry; curved digital windows , walls and displays, and flexible solar cells, to name but a few of the possibilities. Watch the video.  It seems entirely possible that our current computing DNA will be dramatically altered by innovation such as this!

Keeping Your Data Safe:  Hardware Encrypted Drives

You’ve heard about (or worse, experienced) the theft of critical customer, personal, or corporate data loss on external drives.  Until recently, reminds PC World, encrypting an external drive through software was a difficult and cumbersome project.  Enter the newer hardware encrypted drives.  They scramble and crunch data as it’s written.  They are fast.  They eliminate the need for special software.  And should you fall victim to a theft – not to worry – as long as your password is securely in your possession.

Is It Time To Review Your Failover And Redundancy Solutions?

Does your website or application require near zero downtime and availability?  We want to remind you that SiteVision offers custom failover, redundancy, and disaster recovery services.  While most sites do not require these solutions, for those that do, it is a mission critical business priority.  If you require this capability, whether you currently host your site with us or not, please give us a call.  We’ll help you through the process and provide a custom “continuity of operations” contingency for your organization’s systems and data.

Office 2013:  Does It Have Its Head In The Cloud?

Oh yeah.  Files now save to the cloud (SkyDrive) by default.  It’s also oriented to a subscription based experience, though you can still purchase via the traditional software method.  With a subscription, you download the various desktop apps and they follow you to various devices (depending on your MS ID). As with Win 8, touch becomes a part of the experience.  To some the touch integration is half-hearted and confusing.  To others, it’s a welcome addition with positive implications.  According to some reviews, the same might be said for Win 8.  Time will tell!   Engadget has a comprehensive overview, as does Techradar

[image source_type=”attachment_id” source_value=”4146″ align=”left” size=”Small 150 width”] Roanoke, VA June 25, 2012: The Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) has chosen SiteVision to continue its development of the Association’s Emergency Preparedness Program – GHA911. The online website portal is a web browser-based application created to enhance the distribution of critical emergency management information needed by Georgia hospital and healthcare providers, as well as other local and state agencies.

GHA911 is among the ways GHA is helping Georgia Hospitals plan for traditional disasters, as well as the potential for terrorist attacks that would include the use of chemical, biological or nuclear warfare. The website includes disaster readiness information to healthcare members, and provides tools and resources to assist in disaster preparedness and mutual aid planning.

Phase I of the project, which was designed and implemented by SiteVision, was patterned after a highly successful Virginia state-wide program also developed by SiteVision for the Virginia Healthcare and Hospital Association (VHHA). The Georgia portal (members only) for participating hospital and healthcare participants provides a comprehensive overview of each hospital’s capabilities such as its general profile, type of facility, emergency contacts, regular bed counts, ICU bed counts and more.

The Crisis Care Module is designed to capture each hospital’s readiness and capability in a crisis environment. Members can access bed availability, diversion status, important medical supplies, staffing, etc. in an emergency. In addition to cataloging critical physical and administrative capabilities, each facility can identify the tactics (such as prepare, substitute, adapt, conserve and reallocate) that they would be using during a disaster. Data may also be shared with Federal and State agencies. Phase II of the program builds on Phase 1 to provide other user enhancements such as additional calendar functions, status board and transaction report updates, map views, as well as numerous other reports and capabilities.
