Financial Penalty Used as Incentive for EMR Adoption

As more doctors convert to electronic medical record systems, there is hope to see advances in health care delivery and operations.

The federal government is helping to drive these changes with subsidies that partially cover the expenses of converting to electronic medical health records from paper systems.

Since financial incentives have proven not to be enough to motivate doctors, there will be financial penalties put in place to encourage doctors to implement an electronic system by 2015.

According to an article published on New Jersey Spotlight, the federal government has already given doctors in the state of New Jersey $38 million in subsidies for EMR conversion. Almost 27 percent of the state's doctors have already converted according to Colleen Woods, New Jersey Health Information Technology coordinator. Woods estimates that that number will exceed 80 percent when Medicare imposes financial penalties.

This article explains that what is happening in New Jersey is that many practices are small, with only one or two doctors, and it doesn’t make sense financially to implement an electronic system.

It’s imaginable that many other small doctor’s offices in other states across the county feel the same way.

Starting in 2015, 1 percent of Medicare reimbursement will be withheld by the government for doctors offices that do no have EMR software and systems in place. Small practices will now have to revaluate the financial pros and cons, and when doing so will mostly likely be compelled to join the other digital doctors.

Increasing Energy Efficiency in Old Buildings with Balancing Valves

The current buzz across the globe is all about conservation of natural resources and protecting the environment. World leaders convene in highly publicized venues and invariably fail to reach an agreement that all participants can agree on. It sounds like a monumental task. But what about the things that can be done on a local level everywhere that could have global implications?

Energy Efficient Automatic Balancing Valve Suppliers for Old Buildings

Tackling the inefficiencies in old buildings that are found in every country and every city, small or large can be a very effective way to reduce energy consumption. In fact, one of the main causes of inefficient energy use is the imbalance of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) systems in these old buildings. Specifically in large old buildings where there tends to be a lot of energy waste, looking into options offered by energy efficient automatic balancing valve suppliers can go a long way.

A major advantage of applying automatic-balancing technology in a heating and cooling system is that it optimizes water flow by limiting flow and automatically compensating for system pressure changes. Automatic shut-off and adjustment functions also help to maximize the system’s energy use.

While small buildings and small systems can be normally balanced by manual controls on each unit that dispenses heat or cold, large buildings tend to have more complex systems that cannot be efficiently controlled by manual adjustments.

In order to find the appropriate valve system, it is best to contact automatic and manual balancing valve suppliers for professional opinions.

Due to their flexibility, automatic balancing valves can be implemented in phases and expanded at any time. They are only needed at terminal units, which help cuts costs, and are very cost-effective for buildings that have are being partially used, such as hotels and hospitals.

Caring for Your Trees in Winter

Cold temperatures, ice, and freezing winds can make winter a stressful time of year for trees in North America. The native regional trees species even experience the extra stress during these cold months.

According to Redmond arborist John Deutsch,

“Trees are biologically complex, constantly undergoing changes. They are subject to similar problems that afflict us...”

Therefore, it is a good idea to look at for signs of tree stress and to take just a few steps that help protect and strengthen your trees during winter.

Watch for Winter Drought

Some areas in North America can be very dry during winter time causing trees to fight dry out. By laying down a thick layer of organic mulch at the base of the tree in late fall or early winter months, you can help slow moisture loss and water runoff.

Check for Rodents

If you see rodents or deer eating away at your trees, you can consult a local tree care specialist to find ways to repel animals from eating your trees.

Plant Native Species

If you notice that your non-native tree species do not make it through the winter months, you may want to consult an expert on what species do best in your area. Arborist, tree maintenance, and hedge trimming Bellevue specialists, for example, help their client get the most out of their property by recommended the right species, and proper tree care.

Solar Power Method Photovoltaics on the Rise

Unlike traditional methods of heating and powering our homes and businesses, solar energy is sustainable. In other words it will never run out.

Not long ago, there were not many solar providers to choose from in the United States, making prices high and the return of investment far out of sight. Now, especially throughout California you will find a number of solar energy companies with affordable pricing, and state of the art technology, such as Solaire Energy Systems, a leading photovoltaics and SunPower dealer in San Diego.

SunPower Corporation, a component of the Dow Jones Oil and Gas Index, is a designer and manufacturer of high-efficiency crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, roof tiles, and solar panels for residential, business, government and utility customers. Their photovoltaic products are based on a silicon all-black-contact solar cell invented at Standford University.

Photovoltaic technology, due to growing demand for renewable solar energy, has greatly advanced in recent years. It is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors. Currently more than 100 countries use photovoltaics and it is growing rapidly.

Solaire Energy Systems in San Diego promote photovotoaic solar energy as a profitable investment, and report that their clients see payback in as little as six years and have a yearly return-on-investment of up to 18%.
