By Naveen Sarabu, Director, Product Management and Strategy, Liaison Healthcare Informatics The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) for Stage 2 a couple of weeks ago. The proposed rule specifies the criteria that eligible professionals (EPs) and hospitals must be meet to qualify for Electronic Health Record incentive payments. Stage 1 Meaningful Use (MU) criteria focused on electronically capturing clinical information, reporting on clinical quality measures and minimally exchanging key patient clinical information. The proposed Stage 2 criteria expands upon the Stage 1 criteria with emphasis on exchanging key patient clinical information in a structured format …

Guest Author:Michael Morgan This is the last of a three part blog series that gives a techno-hug to underappreciated older technologies used in cloud-based data integrations.  Last up: legacy systems! My colleague, Chris Hale, recently blogged about the sluggishness of heavy-duty enterprise systems, particularly in today’s business landscape where nimble and light (think “cloud”) have become practical instead of pie in the sky. Chris correctly points out that these enterprise architectures, whether they include old fashioned legacy mainframes or clunky ERP architectures, are falling out of favor fast with visionaries. In short, enterprise lethargy equals eventual loss of competitive edge. …

By Robert Fox, VP Emerging Technologies, Liaison Technologies Managed file transfer (MFT) is a longstanding, well-accepted way for organizations to share business files point to point, quickly, reliably and securely. And while it may have lost its newness and “coolness,” it’s no less effective. That said, MFT is becoming cool again as it morphs and expands to play a critical role in moving large sets of Big Data as well as traditional business files to, from and through clouds. Click here to continue reading Robert Fox’s new article published on SandHill.com that demystifies MFT in the cloud by defining it—something the industry …

By Robert Fox, VP Emerging Technologies, Liaison Technologies My refrigerator stopped working recently. This was not good. No warning, just kaput! This is drama of course. Food is now on a collision course for spoiling. It’s amazing to think, all we ask of a refrigerator is to keep things cold. When it works as expected, we take it for granted. When it stops, we feel great pain. I think of middleware or Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) software much the same way. It should be reliable – never fail. If it does then data piles up, processes hang, productivity halts and …

By Walter Lindsay, Director of Solution Architecture, Liaison Technologies The cover of a recent Harvard Business Review caught my eye. Its cover has a large smiley face and the words “The Value of Happiness How Employee Well-Being Drives Profits.” I did just switch from being the chief architect for Contivo and am now director of product management and that means I have been thinking about happiness at the office. But the main reason it caught my eye is that I recently spent a week at the Liaison 2012 sales kickoff.  When I saw it I realized I could explain to my 4 …

Guest Author:Bobby Conway Bobby Conway is a senior sales executive at Liaison with a deep background and focus on security. Like most conferences, there were several key themes and buzzwords being bandied about at this year’s RSA Conference. Some of the hot topics on the showroom floor included terms like consumerization, mobility and last but not least, big data. While these are all points certainly worthy of discussion, I also received a unique perspective when talking to IT security professionals who have visibility into the real world IT security budgets at large as well as small organizations. These folks were …
