The pharmaceutical industry is in a R&D productivity crisis. Rapidly increasing development costs, decreasing profitability of new medical entities and missing breakthrough innovations are negatively affecting the future of the pharmaceutical industry. This complex problem requires a systems thinking approach to find effective solutions. In this study, a general pharmaceutical R&D productivity ...

OpenEHR specifications have been developed to standardise the representation of an international electronic health record (EHR). The language used for querying EHR data is not as yet part of the specification. To fill in this gap, Ocean Informatics has developed a query language currently known as EHR Query Language (EQL), a declarative language supporting queries on EHR data. EQL is neutral to...

The impetus towards the Goddess movement came from an archaeologist, Marija Gimbutas. With the return of the Goddess, the new power of the femi...

In this paper we discuss the difficult issue of how to reliably design and build systems that are fundamentally suited to interoperate with one another. Ideally, all these systems would be constructed using the proposed design principles, but the requirement to interoperate with legacy systems is also recognized. It is not a traditional systems engineering or technology based approach. Rather, ...
