Farzad Mostashari, M.D., Joins Get Real Health Board of Directors

Rockville, Maryland (PRWEB) February 19, 2014

Farzad Mostashari, M.D., has been appointed to the Get Real Health board of directors, effective February 17, 2014. Dr. Mostashari brings unique experience, knowledge and insight into Health Information Technology in the US and around the world. He joined the board in part to amplify his message about the central importance of patient engagement and its transformational power in healthcare — and to stand behind the company that provides the leading-edge patient engagement solution: InstantPHR™.

“As a physician and as a health care proxy for my parents, I have a first-hand understanding of the power of connected care,” says Dr. Farzad Mostashari. “Get Real Health understands the human side of Health IT every bit as much as the technology side. They put patients and providers first, and they built their solution to meet the myriad demands of a healthcare system that is struggling to transform itself. Get Real Health is a leader in this space — and as a board member I intend to help this company ‘stay’ real as it innovates and serves patients and providers.”

“We’re deeply honored to have Farzad on our board,” said Mark Heaney, Get Real Health CEO and founding partner. “He shares Get Real Health’s vision for patient engagement and believes that connected care is a change agent in the healthcare system.”

Farzad cites several key reasons for joining the board:


Get Real Health’s strong international presence in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom;
Usability of InstantPHR-powered portals for patients who seek to collect their information using Blue Button, organize it and share it with whomever they wish;
The company’s understanding of population health and care coordination for providers

“As we look to the future, the ability of patients to get and share their own data and the ability of providers to engage patients will be true game changers,” said Farzad. “Get Real Health is well positioned to be a leader in this new ecosystem.”

The former National Coordinator for Health IT and current Brookings Institute Visiting Fellow is a well-known and highly respected figure in the healthcare industry globally. @Farzad_MD is also a Twitter star, with more than 15,000 followers, and is frequently named a social media influencer at industry conferences. (People even follow his signature bowtie on Twitter @FarzadsBowtie.

“Farzad’s energy and passion for innovation will help us appropriately steer and expand our product, InstantPHR™, to continue to keep it ahead of our competitors,” said Heaney. “Plus, as a highly sought out expert and speaker in Health IT around the world, we know he will represent us well!”

As a Forbes writer observed, Dr. Mostashari “left an indelible mark on the healthcare IT landscape” in his role as the US Health-IT czar. He’s been called the ultimate patient advocate, and his thought leadership about the power of data to improve patient care has proven to be both prescient and influential. Dr. Mostashari’s understanding of the delicate balance between public policy and industry innovation has made him a highly effective leader both on the public podium as well as behind the scenes.

Fellows and Associates discuss hiring habits in the Intellectual Property sector

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) February 20, 2014

It has been reported in previous articles that opportunities for patent attorneys with a background in electronics are rife across the industry. However, in Fellows and Associates’ latest press offering they discuss how this need does not necessarily result in a hiring frenzy once a suitable candidate becomes available.

Phillipa Field came on board in early 2012 and claims since joining the team “I have learnt a fair bit, with one fact becoming glaringly obvious from very early on; patent attorneys with a background broadly in electronics are extremely high in demand. With this in mind, you would think if we found candidates in this area then placing them would be a straightforward process. This actually isn’t the case in all instances”.

She notes that, although the Electronics departments in a number of firms have the workload to accommodate a new recruit, there are other factors that come into play during the hiring process. Personality and experience in business development (or the desire to gain some) can dictate whether a candidate is successful, even if their technical background and academics are of a high calibre. Firms are apparently looking past the black and white and assessing whether the candidate can be successfully integrated on a social level.

Pete Fellows, Managing Director, explains “Whether these candidates are hired or not, there is still the overarching problem regarding the overall lack of candidates in this area.” It is suggested that firms need to play a bigger role in attracting those who are considering a move through mediums such as social media platforms and an investment in brand management. However Phillipa heeds the warning that “a neglected account, or one that is heavily updated but only in sporadic bursts, will not add anything to a firm’s reputation.”

Fellows and Associates pay attention to their own advice it seems, with their social media accounts growing in reputation and popularity. Their latest video, an installment of their ‘Video Roundup’ series, gives viewers an insight into their current work commitments, including further promotion of their third annual Salary Survey.

The inclusion of social media into private practices’ business model is seen as a possible indicator in a change in the way business is conducted in the Intellectual Property sector. Firms can no longer ‘quietly operate behind closed doors and survive solely on historic reputation’ and must be available to potential candidates ‘armed with a defined brand message’. Phillipa explains ‘we have definitely seen a trend in firms becoming more visible in the industry, and also a trend in firms really committing to keeping their own staff as well as accommodating new recruits into their team. So the question we were asking ourselves is why aren’t firms going to greater lengths to welcome the candidates that were on the market?’

It is observed that some firms have become more risk averse since the economic uncertainties of recent years. There is little flexibility in terms of a candidate brief being open to less conventional applicants and perhaps an added pressure in firms beginning a recruitment drive before finalising the attributes they require, causing the process to break down. It seems that personal preference plays a key part with candidates needing to possess interpersonal skills, as well as the right technical fit, in order to secure one of the many great opportunities that are available.

Fellows and Associates are currently working on a number of opportunities across the technology sectors, with roles available with Gill Jennings & Every, Williams Powell and Valipat. Pete concludes ‘we have had an extremely busy start to 2014 which we hope is indicative of things to come. The market is extremely buoyant with firms beginning to think more laterally in terms of their business model and hiring habits. We know that the right personality will still be needed for the right role, but that hasn’t stopped us from going to strength to strength’.

AV Programming Associates Releases Their First Book Entitled Our Code: History, Practices and Processes of AVPA

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 01, 2014

AV Programming Associates, Inc. (AVPA) today announced the release of their first book, entitled Our Code: History, Practices and Processes of AVPA. The self-published book is a collection of stories, lessons learned, business best practices and historic insights. After more than thirteen years as President of AVPA, Matthew Grisafe wrote Our Code as a means to illuminate the company’s history and provide a backdrop to AVPA’s current processes and thinking.

“The lessons we’ve learned over the years are applicable to nearly all small businesses, not just Crestron programmers or those in the professional audiovisual industry,” said Matthew Grisafe, President of AVPA. “Some of the topics covered include the founding of AVPA, our experience launching a new venture on September 11th, 2001 and some of the attitudes we believe a successful business should maintain.”

“We employ well-established processes, and customers often ask why we stick to them. We’re obviously not perfect, but we know what works and how to avoid pitfalls as we navigate projects. The book hopefully provides a context for those processes, a background that helps people understand how we got where we are, and where we’d like to go moving forward. Almost every chapter includes a personal story that explains some of the challenges we’ve faced. We avoided being preachy, but the book offers insights that should be relevant to small business owners of all types. In that way, I expect Our Code may be both an interesting and useful read for a broad audience.”

Cilutions Adds World-Class Digital Signage Capability to Enterprise Video IP Streaming

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 02, 2014

Cilutions has added Exterity world-class video IP streaming to its range of ultra-reliable but affordable digital signage solutions.

Exterity AvediaPlayer Receivers are now fully integrated with Cilutions Digital Media Bridge (DMB) software suite; letting organizations that already use Exterity for IP streaming seamlessly add powerful new digital signage capabilities. Unlike most digital signage offerings, the combined Cilutions and Exterity products offer end-to-end fully encrypted video playback.

Using Cilutions DMB, HD video content can be played on any digital signage screen connected to an Exterity Receiver. By adding Cilutions DMB Screen Builder software to their desktops, digital signage network administrators can use advanced content creation, scheduling and targeting features to manage groups of screens based on audience profiles or locations, or control content scheduling down to individual displays.

In addition to integrating seamlessly within an Exterity IPTV system, Exterity provisioned end-points can be combined with Cilutions software to offer a stand-alone digital signage set-top box that can also be used across networks where video streaming is not required.

SINGLE, FLEXIBLE SOLUTION

This blended solution means high quality video can be decoded, transcoded and distributed over local area networks, enabling everything from scheduled digital signage programming to rich Video on Demand (VoD) interactive screens.

“This creates a very flexible platform that can be implemented easily by organizations, without adding any new hardware,” explained William Stanton, Director of Business Development for Cilutions.

“Offering a single solution for video and signage is much more efficient and cost-effective, and means that our customers only have to learn one system,” added Colin Farquhar, Exterity CEO. “Talking to our end users, systems integrators and partners, we know that video is an integral part of digital signage in addition to data and graphics, so it made sense to have a single integrated solution.”

FLAWLESS OPERATION

Based in the Washington, DC area, Cilutions builds its digital signage solution around ultra-reliable, solid-state media playback devices that have been designed to operate flawlessly for years.

“No moving parts, great engineering inside and tough enclosures mean our customers can put these units out in harsh environments, like fast food outlets and busy retail spaces, without worrying about their ability to handle all the dust and grime that will quickly choke regular PCs,” explained Stanton.

In addition to their management and content distribution software platforms, Cilutions has two core elements to its Digital Media Bridge software suite:

    DMB Media Player – digital signage, video-on-demand and digital menu board software player
    DMB Screen Builder – digital signage, video-on-demand and digital menu board screen authoring application

“Digital signage is a very competitive business, and we strongly believe blending a world-class IP streaming solution with DMB sets Cilutions apart from the pack,” concluded Stanton.

Cilutions is a software products and services provider for digital signage networks. We strive to provide low cost, easy to use software solutions for the successful implementation and management of digital signage networks.

Cheap Digital signage software.

Our world is being bombarded with new technology each day. Newer versions of the old existing technologies evolve sooner than you are done with using the old one in the first place. However, we still have the thirst to go on exploring the new technologies. This holds true in the case of digital signage software as well.

There are scores of software providers in the digital signage industry today. With communication becoming the core of anything and everything, newer methods are being tried and tested. Digital signage is relatively new and therefore, the software available for it is in abundance. Each one of them software makers claims they are the best in the industry and offer almost similar features for digital signage.

To suit everyone’s needs, there is expensive as well cheap digital signage software available in the market. Those who can afford to make use of expensive software, with no worry about the upgrade and maintenance costs, they prefer the expensive ones. The one’s who relatively new and need to grow prefer the cheap ones. The cheap software may not be bad as one relates this feeling with everything that inexpensive. In fact, good software that does not have enough marketing presence, maybe available for half its price so that it is used. It may be at par with the expensive ones available too.

Cheap or expensive digital signage software also depends on system requirements. Smaller advertising set ups may use older technology for which the cheap digital signage software may be very handy. However, if the technology used is highly advanced, it is better to go ahead with expensive software.

This again is debatable. This is because without using any, one cannot comment on the utilities of both; the cheap one and the expensive one. But using cheap software is much better than using software illegally, i.e. is by downloading it on the internet.

 On one hand, it may be so that cheap software may not offer features that are really advanced. This means the user has limited variations and experiences that he can put to use, using the software. On the expensive software, because you are paying a hefty amount for it, all features maybe available. Plus one can play around a lot with these features, resulting in a variety of successful outcomes.

Therefore, buying a cheap or an expensive digital signage will completely depend upon one’s spend budget.
