Like managed care services, the Hospital and Health System Services portion of Odysent II builds upon Kinetra s established solutions operable within the most common computing platforms. Odysent II will continue to deliver clinical information such as laboratory results, radiology reports and images, and pathology as well as EKG strips and ADT transactions. This information will be presented in both tabular and graphical form. A longitudinal virtual repository will store and rationalize archived patient data throughout the continuum of care. Odysent II s auxiliary Web browser-based services, such as the existing access to medical research literature through MedCite, will continue to channel content to provider users.
Many entrepreneurs envision a day when they can run an Internet-based business from their home.
Starting a business on the Internet is easy, but keeping it running is tougher, says a University of Louisville Internet business expert. Brian Dos Santos says the Internet is attractive because start-up costs are low and other costs, such as rent, are nonexistent. Internet business owners can build an online store and easily target specific audiences. However, they also face a tough fight in getting their businesses noticed. Also, handling sales and providing customer service is much different than in a traditional business.
