EDI - XML Standards and Technologies in the Agri-Food Industry
Due to globalisation, the new technological developments and the complexity of food
supply processes, the European food sector is increasingly becoming more complex. The consumers’
trust in food, triggered and affected by a number of food crises, is low. Today, consumers increasingly
expect safe and high quality food and demand information about the origin of their food. Also, the
economic health of the food industry can be greatly affected by food crises; therefore, efficient and
effective mechanisms are required to assist the food industry in tracking and tracing products along the
food chain. In this paper, we discuss the criteria for an efficient and effective traceability system from
an IT perspective (mainly data exchange) and we identify key requirements for ICT enabled
traceability

Describes EMR adoption in New Zealand's primary healthcare system, including how government investment was secured and data protection laws, unique patient identifiers, and standards and certification were established, with lessons for the United States
Technology, Professional Practice, and Ethics: Survey Findings and Implications
If a psychologist loses treatment records because of a computer failure, is it an ethical violation? The widespread growth of technology has outpaced the development of ethical standards for questions such as this, resulting in areas of uncertainty for psychologists. Four hundred twenty psychologists in independent practice rated the ethicality and their frequency of using 40 technologies. Technologies pertaining to the support functions of a psychologist\u27s office are commonly used, but those technologies directly affecting clinical services are rarely used. More than half of the 40 items received equivocal ratings on ethicality, suggesting psychologists need guidelines and training for the use of technology in professional practice
Digital technologies and chronic disease management
Raises awareness of the potential benefits of using digital technologies for improving practice efficiencies and patient health outcomes.
Background
Digital technologies will become a major part of our healthcare system, with particular impact in primary care. However, many healthcare professionals are not sufficiently informed of the digital technologies available today and how they and their patients can gain substantial benefit from adoption of these technologies.
Objective
To raise awareness of the potential benefits of using digital technologies for improving practice efficiencies and patient health outcomes.
Discussion
Implementing best practice care for patients with chronic and complex conditions is one of the greatest challenges facing gen-eral practice and other primary care providers. It has been suggested that digital technologies could assist by decreasing the administrative burden of care delivery, improving quality of care, increasing practice efficiencies and better supporting patient self-management. In this paper, we consider some areas in the management of chronic and long-term conditions where digital and mobile health solutions can make a difference today
