Around the web - November 25, 2007

November 25, 2007

So back with another edition, and it seems like the previous one was just a couple of days ago. Blogging has been somewhat slow at this end and I have yet to sit and digest something I want to rather badly, Cameron Neylon’s proposal on e-science for open science

As I did last week, I recorded a screencast of various activities. Beth Kanter and Nils Geylen have been talking about screencasting as a form of narrative. While the screencast you see here would probably not qualify, it is a step in that direction, or so I hope.



Over at TechBizMedia, I blogged about the evolution of blogging as the medium becomes more formal and perhaps the next generation of publishing

Retired the Podcast site. That will now serve as just a repository. All narrative, etc will be included as part of bbgm.

Completely redid the Tumblelog to be less of streaming in links from elsewhere to more of a “here’s some cool geeky stuff I liked”

… and last but not the least, you have to check out a screencast on Desktop Tower Defense.

    You write about the eICU concept with a good picture of it in action and a good analogy with airline traffic controllers. You suggest that the concept [there are a number of competing applicatins such as VISICU] is expensive. Here is the real issue: If you are sick and in the ICU you should definitely be under the supervison of an experienced physician trained and certified as an intensivist. But that is often not the case today, especially at night and on weekends; but illness knows no time boundaries. VISICU and similar programs overcome the lack of intensivists because one physician can "cover" multiple ICUs from a remote location. The result is better care, safer care, less time in the ICU and hospital and lower total costs. This a one of the ways I discuss in my book the "Future of Medicine" that will mean more personalized care and safer care and since the data is all digitized from the start it can be automatically entered into the electronic medical record.
