Video clip: New technology mimics human eye

Published May 2009

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign have developed a new digital camera that’s curved like the human eye, according to www.ScienCentral.com.

While the current device may be used for non-health related projects, such as military cameras, it does open doors for future medical advances. For example, the researchers are developing curved pacemakers that fit around the heart. “[The pacemaker will] pace it in very sophisticated ways that goes beyond anything that’s possible with current technology,” researcher John Rogers told ScienCentral.

Assessing the Competency of Low-Volume Practitioners:

The Joint Commission requires that hospitals verify physician competence using performance data. Yet organizations often have little or no data related to the competency of low- and no-volume physicians. Medical staff leaders are therefore challenged to develop a strategy that guides the hospital's relationship with low- and no-volume providers, and medical staff services departments are challenged to establish systems to verify physician competence. This fully updated book and CD-ROM set offers the necessary tools and strategies for medical staff leaders and professionals to manage the increasing number of low- and no-volume providers and comply with Joint Commission standards.
