Interdisciplinary collaborative team approaches to patient care are increasingly encouraged and mandated. With a parallel emphasis on the use of information technology to support such collaboration, the nature of verbal communication in interdisciplinary team meetings is examined as a means to suggest criteria for the use of information technology.

Access to genuine multipartite entanglement of quantum states enables advances in quantum information science and also contributes to the understanding of strongly correlated quantum systems. We report the detection and characterization of heralded entanglement in a multipartite quantum state composed of four spatially distinct optical modes that share one photon, a so-called W state. By random...

This chapter begins with a discussion of the business value of information technology and then goes on to discuss productivity paradox studies and the different types of benefits of information technology, including operational, tactical, and strategic. It also discusses when to intensify competition or leverage advantages in a timely manner.

This article explores the links between agency, institutions, and innovation in navigating shifts and large-scale transformations toward global sustainability. Our central question is whether social and technical innovations can reverse the trends that are challenging critical thresholds and creating tipping points in the earth system, and if not, what conditions are necessary to escape the cur...

The key components of caring for the elderly are diet, living, transportation, education, and safety issues, and telemedical systems can offer great assistance. Through the integration of personal to community information technology platforms, we have developed a new Intelligent Comprehensive Interactive Care (ICIC) system to provide comprehensive services for elderly care. The ICIC system cons...

How do funding agencies ramp-up their capabilities to support research in a rapidly emerging area? This paper addresses this question through a comparison of research proposals awarded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in the field of Big Data. Big data is characterized by its size and difficulties in capturing, curating, man...

Over the past ten years, information technology (IT) has emerged as a vital part of the global economy. Although IT job growth will not be as rapid as the booming growth of the computer industry during the previous decade, as the IT sector matures and routine work is increasingly outsourced overseas, the computer industry still offers favorable job prospects and faces a demand for qualified pro...
