Since the stimulus bill was signed into law in February of this year, in effect mandating incentives and penalties for health care providers tied to the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs), there has been an explosion of rhetoric around EHRs. Though EHRs are certainly a topic of concern for all providers, it appears two other important initiatives have been overshadowed by the debate.

Last Thursday, I attended a conference in Washington, D.C. that focused on health reform in long term care. As I listened to the impassioned speakers, each with broad ranging ideas for health reform, they all seemed to have one goal in common: to ensure long term care is given the attention it deserves and is not pushed aside amid the larger debate about health reform.

An article in this morning's Wall Street Journal points out that many services firms, from consultancies to ad agencies to law firms, are resorting to performance-based compensation models as a way of differentiating themselves in the currently brutal business environment.

AI has relaunched the website of CRISP, the collaborative health information exchange planning group comprised of Erickson Retirement Communities, Johns Hopkins Medicine, MedStar Health, and the University of Maryland Medical System. As HIE activities move forward in Maryland, the website will serve as an informational resource for consumers and healthcare institutions alike. The site was developed using the DotNetNuke open source content management framework. Over the last several weeks, with the increased prominence of health IT generally and CRISP specifically -- for instance, CRISP leaders David Horrocks and Mark Kelemen were recently interviewed on Baltimore's WYPR public radio -- traffic to the CRISP website has risen dramatically.

It's long been a conventional wisdom of consumer product marketers that "supermarkets are places of high impulse buying -- fully 60 to 70 percent of purchases there were unplanned, grocery industry studies have shown us." So said psychologist and market researcher Paco Underhill in his 1999 book Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping. In a newly published research paper, AI senior partner David Bell and two colleagues challenge this long-held view, uncovering evidence that far fewer of grocery shoppers' purchases are impulsive and, further, that impulsive shopping is driven less by in-store merchandising and more by traits of the individual purchaser. The research will cause many marketers to reconsider their approaches to marketing grocery-store products from toothpaste to tomato sauce.

The Federal Government furthers its use of Web 2.0 including blogs, social networks and virtual worlds.
"CMMI" stands for Capability Maturity Model Integration. Simply put, CMMI is a numeric scale used to “rate” the maturity of a software development process or team. CMMI maturity levels are increasingly used by government agencies and Fortune 500 companies to evaluate the potential for organizations to deliver quality solutions on-time and within budget.

Traditional SEO (search engine optimization) campaigns have focused on building links. However, the ways in which businesses will need to execute link strategies are evolving daily due to social media, blogs, and even search engine algorithm changes.
Generally, section 508 (29 U.S.C. ‘749d)
requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology
is accessible to people with disabilities. As government agencies move more and more toward online and web-based tools, IT government contractors will be required to understand and adhere to these requirements. Section 1194.22 of the Act specifically refers to “Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications.”

While Americans bought almost $130 billion worth of goods and services from online retailers like Amazon, that figure still comprises only about four percent of the nation's retail sales.
A number of innovators, though, are finding other compelling ways to monetize internet ventures.

The link between product demand and pricing magnitude is intuitive and a fundamental tenet of economics. Less intuitive, but also important, is the link between pricing policy, product consumption, and customer retention.

According to Charlene Yi, in Groundswell, recommended to me and AI by a friend, Wally Boston, the need for more and new ’Web 2.0’ platforms built to serve the older American demographic is questionable. With the wave of Boomer retirement still far from over - and online habits of the segment far from established - how can this be so?

MIT professors have done some great research to show that 'net promoter score,' a popular mechanism for evaluating customer satisfaction, is correlated with profitability.
