Cluster software vendor Mediware announced last Friday (the day after HIMSS) that their workforce would be reduced by 20 employees.
Before the cuts, the company (Nasdaq: MEDW) employed about 200 people,
including about 80 at its Lenexa headquarters. The filing did not
specify whether any cuts would come in the Lenexa site.
According to the filing, the […]
The week before HIMSS I was at a client site when I got hit with an email virus. A thoughtful gentleman with a new market research report was sure I'd be interested in his email and attachments - totaling 1 MB. I received 135 of his missives the first day. I've received echos of this […]
The FCC has added 255 megahertz of bandwidth, divided into 11 channels, to the 5 GHz 802.11a ISM band.
The new rules went into effect Jan. 20, and allow the use of 5.47 to
5.725 GHz—11 channels in the 802.11a version of Wi-Fi—with a couple of
key signal usage modifiers. The rule also changes the requirements for

Did you run out of time too? I needed two more days for all the info I was hoping to get at HIMSS this year. This year a few of the publicity firms scheduled me for meetings with key people at a number of companies. To my interviewees, thanks so much for your time - […]
An old friend, Jim called today to bitch (in the nicest of ways) about the HIMSS show blogging done by yours truly and others. I also got a request from Dale H.
…could you blogger-attendees blog something about how HIMSS itself went, for those of us who couldn’t make it? I wasn’t able to get away […]
Okay, I’m a little late on my show updates. Tim at HIStalk has been much better with his daily updates, as has Will at the Candid CIO. I went to a lot of the educational sessions last year - they presented at a beginner or intermediate level, and the best part was the questions and […]
Health care is a very interrupt driven environment - new physician orders, diagnostic study results, alerts/alarms from surveillance can demand immediate attention. Many vendors are trying to improve messaging at the point of care, and to those who support caregivers. Blogger Dean Sittig (also Northwest Permanente's director of applied
research in medical informatics) just published a […]
It looked like about 30 folks joined us at Hennessey's pub last night. There was lots of interesting industry gossip, networking, and of course, conversation about blogging. In addition to the bloggers and their readers, attendees included some vendors investigating the blogger phenom and even some folks from a very big publication we've all heard […]
Expect a big announcement later today - and it's not a new product introduction…
