    It’s no secret that the business of health care is a BIG business, being 15% of the gross national product. This creates loads of pressure on hospital/facility commanders to properly and sufficiently run and manage their organizations. Having consistent services, quality, keeping up with consumer demands and proper reimbursement is a key to survival. I think we all can agree that having a paper based system has the power to complicate the quality of our services, organization, consistency and reimbursement. From setting a new appointment for an established patient, to properly processing payments, electronic health records (EHR) have the power to store all of our paper based records into one, consistently up-to-date system.…

    Anthony Smith sets the rhetorical question: (1)"Where, after all, lay the reasons for the existence of every nation (if you distinguish it from the state), if not in the cultivation of its unique (or perceived as unique) cultural value? Ethnic differences remain the terms ‘sine qua non’ and that means shared myths about ancestor’s common historical memories, unique cultural traits and sense of difference - if not chosen by God - all elements typical of the ethnic communities of the pre-modern era. They must be maintained in the modern nation, so it won’t be invisible.” His statement that "nations have deep roots" can be traced back to the national identity. This idea is also emphasized in the work of Alvin and Heidi Toffler(2), whose description…

In the quest for the big picture, Neil Salisbury, Ramsay Cook and Cornelius Jaenen have analyzed different types of evidence for the Aboriginal side to reveal that the Native population was in fact flourishing well before contact. Salisbury uses archeological evidence to show long standing exchange networks and social…
