  • USA:North Carolina:Health care providers say keeping electronic records will be good for your health

    Forget all those paper forms you have to fill out every time you go to a new doctor.

    One day, we’ll each have one medical file — electronic health records on a National Health Information Network accessible anywhere in the country by any medical provider with authorization to review those files. But just as sure as some readers of The Gazette are viewing this article on newsprint, the conversion to digital medical records has yet to be embraced by all physicians and patients.

  • USA:Online satisfaction with federal websites stagnates as White House struggles with implementation

    Citizen satisfaction with federal government websites has remained the same as in first quarter 2009, according to the second quarter 2009 release of the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) E-Government Satisfaction Index. The current quarter’s aggregate score is again 73.6 on the ACSI’s 100-point scale. The study is done four times a year.

    While it is good news that the E-Gov Index is stable after seeing a significant decline last quarter, it is notable that the Index has not yet rebounded. It could be that federal departments and agencies are in a holding pattern that is preventing an increase in website satisfaction and effectiveness. One possible contributing factor is that federal website leaders have not made improvements as they wait for direction from the Obama Administration that will affect their websites.

  • USA:The key word for successful cross-agency projects: governance

    im Young wants agencies to put him out of a job. The associate administrator for IT and e-government for the Office of Management and Budget wants agencies to work out their problems without his office’s help, take away the burdensome process of developing memorandums of understandings and make it so funding is done without a second thought for cross-agency initiatives.

    Then again, this is not a new desire for OMB—it has been trying to institutionalize the governance process for the 25 Quicksilver projects and nine lines of business consolidation initiatives for parts of the last four years. And the effort is far from finished.

  • USA:West Virginia:High-speed Internet can bring opportunities, advances in education and health care

Two years ago, he offered a big resolution on the need for a national broadband plan, and he has worked on various pieces of legislation related to the topic, a Rockefeller aid said.
