How to find NPR stations on your road trip?

Often when I am traveling I struggle to find decent radio stations. NPR is pretty good listening but I can never remember the frequencies or where to find them.

I just discovered that they actually have a tool to plan your road trip:

http://www.npr.org/stations/

Besides have turn by turn instructions for  your trip they include when to change stations

Additionally they use Virtual Earth (maps.live.com) and an overlay of there radio towers. To make it even better they use the VE polygon features to show coverage of a tower and signal strength

Whitepaper "Using Office Open XML in Health" published!

My good collegue Roberto Ruggeri just dropped me a note that his whitepaper on using the XML based document format of Office 2007 in Healthcare has been published on MSDN.
 
here is the link and an abtract:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb879915.aspx

Abstract: Empowering patients and consumers to exchange Electronic Health Records securely is a big debate in the health industry across the globe. Learn how to use Office Open XML Formats and custom XML formats to exchange data securely. This particular scenario shows the use of Health Level Seven (HL7) Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) to represent the Electronic Health Record in an industry standard format. It also shows how to include the data in a secured document, based on Office Open XML Formats, for portability across multiple care providers.

LiveLink - MOSS Integration

I am looking for customers who are interested in integrating their LiveLink environment with MOSS. The Integration is in form of a Protocol Handler for LiveLink. This will allow them to search their LiveLink repositories from MOSS..

There is a  prerequisite:  you need to have the latest version of LiveLink (v9.7.1) otherwise security trimming will not work.

Please let me know if you are interested in this functionality and send me an email at marcd at microsoft dot com. If you are interested but the prerequisite is preventing you from doing the integration drop me a note indicating that.

Using RFID to track drugs from production to medicine cabinet

For a few years now the FDA is recommending that drug manufacturers use RFID to track drugs from plant to the consumer.

The purpose is two fold

  • reduce fake drugs (improves patient health and stock price of pharmaceutical companies)
  • provides ability to track recalled drugs faster and more efficient

Using BizTalk RFID you can easily implement a solution that tracks the location of drugs and allows you to build a database with its where abouts. Pharmacies use RFID readers to verify that the drug is the real thing.

Here are links to 3 webcasts that can help you build these type of solutions:

  1. Orchestrating the real-time enterprise with the BizTalk RFID platform http://www.livemeeting.com/cc/microsoft/view?id=Jumpstart-03&pw=BTS06R2
  2. Building device providers for the BizTalk RFID platform

  3. Designing and deploying BizTalk RFID Business Processes  
    http://www.livemeeting.com/cc/microsoft/view?id=Jumpstart-06&pw=BTS06R2

This is a good blog to read to keep up with new developments in the BizTalk RFID space: http://blogs.msdn.com/biztalkrfid/

The Devil wears Prada

No I didn't morph into a fashionista I still work as an architect in Health care at Microsoft.

However take a look at this clip:           

this is not faked or a mockup all this technology really works and I have seen it demo'd over the last year or so.

Now imagine this technology at work in your corporation; giving you the ability to interact in meetings like you are there (would have been useful in NYC yesterday with that tornado) or reschedule appointments if your train/flight is running late with a simple phone call.

The Laszlo Letter reflects on SharePoint in the Life Sciences industry

George writes about what he saw around SharePoint at DIA on his blog: http://laszloletter.typepad.com/the_laszlo_letter/2007/06/is-sharepoint-r.html

I think he is right on the money and you will hear about these two solutions and others in the next few months.
