Here are some more information for Physical Electronics:

The Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device is Amazons largest e-reader which comes with a bigger screen and a higher price tag to match. So, if you are looking for a suitable e-reader, what are the benefits you would get, that would make it worth parting with additional cash?

The Kindle DX shares most of the other features available in smaller models but here are the main differences that set the DX apart:

Larger Physical Size

The physical dimensions of the DX e-reader come in at 10.4 inches high, 7.2 inches wide and 0.38 inches thick which, for most people, would make this a two-handed unit. With the smaller models being designed to fit snugly into one hand like an ordinary paper-back, the DX, sacrifices this feature for the advantages gained with a bigger screen.

Bigger Screen

This is the main reason a user would opt for the Kindle DX. This model e-reader comes with the big 9.7 inch screen (diagonal measurement)... and is, in fact, more than 50 percent bigger than Kindles 3G and wireless models. For the use, this translates into a lot more text being able to be viewed on the screen.

Some users have commented that this makes reading poetry, for example, a lot easier because with the smaller models, the lines are often cut off in the wrong places making it difficult for the reader to get the sense of what the poet is saying. A bigger display will also make it much easier for the user to read a wider range of material such as newspapers, websites, magazines as well as e-books. And, of course, with the bigger screen, the user is able to rotate the display from portrait to landscape for better viewing of larger documents such as maps, web pages, and graphs etc.

Weight

With the larger physical size, there is an obvious increase in weight... a total of 18.9 ounces to be exact. To put this into perspective, the DX is about 10 ounces heavier... over double the weight of the smaller wireless and 3G models. So, for most users, being able to comfortably hold and operate the DX in one hand, is out of the question.

Battery Life

It stands to reason that a bigger display will draw more battery current and require more frequent charging. With wireless switched off, the DX will run for 2 to 3 weeks, whereas, with wireless switched on, you'll need to recharge in about 7 days. To put this in perspective with the smaller models, when wireless is switched off, these will run for up to 4 weeks and with wireless turned on, about 21 days for the Kindle Wireless and 10 days for the Kindle 3G.

Summary

In conclusion, if the larger physical size, the extra weight and more frequent battery charging are worth the benefits gained by having a much larger screen, then the Kindle DX could be worth considering.

Article on Electronic Health Record

Introduction - "What is an EHR"?

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) refers to an individual patient's medical record in digital format. Electronic health record systems co-ordinate the storage and retrieval of individual records with the aid of computers. EHRs are usually accessed on a computer, often over a network. It may be made up of electronic medical records (EMRs) from many locations and/or sources. A variety of types of healthcare-related information may be stored and accessed in this way.

Types of Data stored in EHR:

An electronic medical record might include:

1. Patient demographics.
2. Medical history, examination and progress reports of health and illnesses.
3. Medicine and allergy lists, and immunization status.
4. Laboratory test results.
5. Radiology images (X-rays, CTs, MRIs, etc.)
6. Photographs, from endoscopy or laparoscopy or clinical photographs.
7. Medication information, including side-effects and interactions.
8. Evidence-based recommendations for specific medical conditions
9. A record of appointments and other reminders.
10. Billing records.
11. Eligibility
12. Advanced directives, living wills, and health powers of attorney

Advantages of EHR over paper records:

1. Medical records may be on "physical" media such as film (X-rays), paper (notes), or photographs, often of different sizes and shapes. Physical storage of documents is problematic, as not all document types fit in the same size folders or storage spaces. In the current global medical environment, patients are shopping for their procedures. Many international patients travel to US cities with academic research centers for specialty treatment or to participate in Clinical Trials. Coordinating these appointments via paper records is a time-consuming procedure and may violate the patient's HIPAA privacy

2. Physical records usually require significant amounts of space to store them. When physical records are no longer maintained, the large amounts of storage space are no longer required. Paper, film, and other expensive physical media usage (and therefore cost) is also reduced with electronic record storage

3. When paper records are stored in different locations, furthermore, collecting and transporting them to a single location for review by a healthcare provider is time-consuming. When paper (or other types of) records are required in multiple locations, copying, faxing, and transporting costs are significant, as are the concerns of HIPAA compliance

4. Handwritten paper medical records can be associated with poor legibility, which can contribute to medical errors. Pre-printed forms, the standardization of abbreviations, and standards for handwriting were encouraged to improve reliability of paper medical records. Electronic records help with the standardization of forms, terminology and abbreviations, and data input. Digitization of forms facilitates the collection of data for epidemiology and clinical studies

5. In 2004, an estimate was made that 1 in 7 hospitalizations occurred when medical records were not available. Additionally, 1 in 5 lab tests were repeated because results were not available at the point of care. Electronic records keeping and order entry were found to reduce errors associated with handwritten documents and were recommended for widespread adoption.

Conclusion:

The goal of the NHS (National Health Service - US) is to have 60,000,000 patients with a centralized electronic health record by 2010. The Clinics/Hospitals in US realized that the objective of NHS can be implemented & achieved in the stipulated timeframe by out sourcing their medical transcription work.
