It’s E-lementary , My Dear Watson!. Virtually Speaking, Of Course
“Excellent!”I (Watson) cried.
“Elementary!”said he (Holmes)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), The Crooked Man
February 14, 2013 - Doug Henschen, executive editor of InformationWeek, has declared Watson, IBM's supercomputer, could change the entire health care game, for the better, of course, if you are a true believer in artificial intelligence.
IBM, working with Memorial Sloane Kettering, will recommend the best cancer treatment options. And, using claims data from WellPoint, the Cleveland Clinic, and Cedars Sinai,  Watson will move into medical training and other chronic disease areas, like diabetes, heart disease, and mental health.
It’s all about rationalizing , streamlining, and grouping data to improve care.
Not to be outdone and to supplement IBM’s Watson strategies, the Virtuwell Clinic, created by HealthPartners Health System in Minnesota joined the hunt for a lower cost, more convenient, more convenient health system (Ann Carrns, “Visiting the Doctor, Virtually", New York Times, February 14, 2013).
The idea is to have patients visit doctors online rather than in person. Virtuwell visits cost $88 less than personal visits, save 2.5 hours of the patient’s time, and reduce copays. Virtuwell’s slick slogan is “Sick Click, and Cure.”
Patients can go to Virtuwell’s website, answer a brief questionnaire, and a certified nurse practitioner will review and write a treatment plan, within 30 minutes. If a prescription is needed, it will  send the script electronically to a pharmacy of the patient’s choice. If a direct visit is indicated, or x-rays or lab tests are required, a referral will be made.
For such a system to work and to be more widely available, state laws and regulations and Medicare laws will have to be changed to make the system economically viable.
All of which leads inexorably to this verse.

Medical practices may soon become virtually virtual,
For diseases, conditions, and visits that are computable.
It is E-lementary, given an IBM 's Watson computer,
and the right, proper, and suitable data to grouper.
Believe me, virtual care  may well be doable.

Tweet: With IBM’s supercomputer, Watson, and with Virtuwell’sl computer visits, medical practice is becoming more virtual, virtually speaking.

If you are using firewall software such as Outpost Firewall Pro,
the paid edition of Online Armor and Kaspersky Internet Security or PURE, you can take advantage of
using their Blocklist feature that will block connections to known malicious
URL and IP addresses. com’s report. It's a competitive world out there on the world-wide web, but SEO consulting can help you dramatically improve your odds of being found in the din and getting your message across. This will not only help you find the best service provider but will help you build an idea about the recent SEO market. NOW, I don't mean you should just put keyword spam
in your footer. Meta Name and Meta Description Tags are two of the important ones.
Since keyword analysis is needed for both SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM, we often confuse using these terms.
This means that they follow only the steps given to them by Google and other major search engines.
Configure You - Tube settings by changing the default settings to your preferred
and secure preferences. This helps auto dealership websites
rank higher in the search engines results and get more traffic to
the website. Thus, if your charges are overly cheap,
this might cause doubts and worries from their mines regarding the
quality of the service they get. The growth management of small business can be accomplished
with SEO as an integral part of your overall Internet marketing
strategy. Let us assume that at this point you have 6 keywords.
Here you will need an SEO agency such as Webfirm to try and
run damage limitation. This was the beginning of the thought process
for my new business. Here are some examples of things that were once good moves that can now get you into trouble.
In fact, soon, not using RDFa could put a site at a disadvantage.
When a person enters a keyword into the search box of a particular search engine such as Google, there will be scores of results showing out which are a result of a search engine algorithm devised by that particular search engine.
The content must complement the theme of the website design.
If customers like what they see, they just might go on reading.
