   Super easy to use and works fine for the last two years or so

   Thanks, Mark! I’m aware of RollSense, but haven’t played with it much- I’ll need to do that now.

   […] Setting Medical Information Free, Softwares and Tools Here is Hamza Emadeen M.’s say on “Medical and Healthcare related software at Software Repositories/Directories“. There is a need that force us , or inspire us to create, invent, design and develop Medical software. Here, he emphasizes addressing and understanding the needs of the heath care providers and the importance of these products being open source, updated, and supported. More light on the open source call is MedGadget’s “Collection of Active Open Source Projects for Health Care“. Open source software has been extremely successful in various technology sectors but has been slow to grow in the health care industry. However, OSS serves a vital role by breeding innovation at a break neck pace. A new blog has a decent summary of active OSS programs for the health care market. A blog called Web 2.0 and Semantic Web for Bioinformatics:Web technologies applied in data-intensive Life Science research, has a take this week involving “Tools for (data) mashups and remixes“.

Explaining RSS Introduction to RSS for Librarians by Luke Rosenberger How to Explain RSS the Oprah Way by Stephanie Quilao Five Best Tips for Reducing RSS Information Overload by David Rothman Video: RSS in Plain English And, of course, it is never too early to say, “hats off!” to Dan In’s “New Journal Ranking Tool” on Bitesize Bio. Thompson Scientific is great for gaging the impact factors of various journals, but it has had a bit of a monopoly on journal rankings. As with any ranking scheme, there can be more than one valid way of comparing alternatives.Enter a new ranking tool - that’s free - the SCImago Journal Rank database. Information In Your Hands, Now What? There are kinds of information that we can opt to toss away almost instantly. And there are kinds that are vital to our study, research, and work. Some information are personal and/or special that we want to know how to obtain them and/or handle them. Patients first. Here is The International Council on Medical & Care Compunetics presents a 16-minute video on “Record Acces in practice“. A very good resource. Recently Dr. Amir Hannan from Haughton Thornley Medical in the UK has produced a video on how Record Access works. “This short video has been produced to help you, the patient, to get the best from the services that this practice is offering. Please watch the video carefully”. […]
