Achieving Real Savings through Better Care: Policy Options for Improving Care and Slowing Cost Growth through Bipartisan Delivery System and Payment Reform
Op-Ed: Prescription for Patient-Centered Care and Cost Containment
New England Journal of Medicine | June 27, 2013
Despite high national spending, health care in the United States is uneven in quality and often wasteful, uncoordinated, and inefficient. Leaders on both sides of the political aisle, and in the health and economic policy communities, recognize the urgency of improving the quality and effectiveness of care while slowing the growth of spending. Far too often, however, attempts to address our national health and budget issues have been fragmented and unproductive, frequently owing to partisan disagreements over how to approach these highly sensitive issues.
We, the four leaders of the Bipartisan Policy Center Health Care Cost Containment Initiative, came together to bridge this divide — to start a constructive dialogue on strengthening the U.S. health care system. A strong health care system, a stable federal budget, and a productive economy are complementary, not competing, priorities. On April 18, 2013, we released a report entitled "A Bipartisan Rx for Patient-Centered Care and System-Wide Cost Containment" (see the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at NEJM.org), which describes a comprehensive, coordinated set of recommendations to improve quality, reduce waste, and control cost. We think that solely budget-driven efforts to achieve health care savings will fail; public and private health care savings must be an outgrowth of health reform, not the underlying reason for it. We believe our policy analysis and recommendations reflect this principle, as well as a growing convergence of thinking across a wide spectrum of stakeholders.
Our Vision
In the long term, we envision health care that is value-driven and coordinated through organized systems, rather than volume-driven and fragmented. These systems will be developed and will evolve through a process of innovation and improvement that is based on collaborative structures of care delivery and payment with accountability, coordination, competition, and patient choice. The tools and incentives built into these systems will ensure that patients receive high-quality, coordinated care across multiple settings. They will avoid unnecessary or redundant treatments and services, engage patients in decisions about their care, and pay physicians for the services that patients need and want — including increased time consulting with their doctors. Our recommendations seek to align efforts in the public and private sectors to promote high-quality, coordinated systems of care. Our Medicare reforms include steps toward greater coordination in care delivery and payment, such as shared savings, bundled payments, and competitively bid, capitated health plans.
We are convinced that reforming the U.S. health care system to prioritize quality and value over volume will not only improve health outcomes and the patient experience but also constrain cost and produce systemwide savings. If enacted, our policies would reduce the federal deficit by an estimated $560 billion over the next 10 years, including nearly $300 billion in Medicare savings, which includes the cost of a permanent fix to the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula for physician payments and the cost of increased assistance to low-income beneficiaries.
Our initiative is unique in that we have brought bipartisanship to the table, dedicating nearly a year to reasoned negotiations to break through the partisan rhetoric surrounding health care. We sought policy options around which both sides of the political aisle could realistically coalesce, and we prioritized political and economic realities over discrete options that achieve budget savings in the near term. We have been encouraged by the responses to these recommendations from representatives of both political parties.
Key Recommendations
We would engage both beneficiaries and providers with incentives to pursue a more coordinated, accountable, and sustainable health care system. These recommendations span four broad categories: improve and enhance Medicare to create incentives for quality and care coordination; reform tax policy and clarify consolidation rules to encourage greater efficiency and competition; prioritize quality, prevention, and wellness; and encourage and empower states to improve care and constrain costs by means of delivery, payment, workforce, and liability reform. The recommendations described below are highlights from the report but are not an exhaustive list of all the issues addressed in our report.
Improve and Enhance Medicare
Recommendation: Promote quality and value through an improved version of accountable care organizations — Medicare Networks — that encourage providers to meet the full spectrum of their patients' needs. Replace the SGR formula for physician reimbursement and offer all Medicare providers strong financial incentives to participate in new payment models.
Our policies would engage beneficiaries in choosing the coverage that best suits their needs. In addition to fee-for-service Medicare and Medicare Advantage, providers within traditional Medicare would be able to form Medicare Networks. Beneficiaries could choose to enroll in a Medicare Network and would receive a premium discount if they did so. They and their providers could share in savings that result from greater quality and efficiency of care. We believe that these organized systems would provide patients and families with better, more coordinated care while reducing overall spending growth.
Beneficiaries would also be free to remain in an improved fee-for-service Medicare. Our report identifies inefficiencies, misaligned incentives, and fragmented care delivery in the current fee-for-service reimbursement system that have both undermined quality and increased costs. Fee-for-service Medicare would be modernized by means of a greater commitment to competitive bidding, bundling, and other reforms that make provider health systems more accountable and affordable.
To encourage providers to move from fee-for-service Medicare to Medicare Networks, we offer carrot-and-stick incentives. Full payment updates (based on the Medicare Economic Index, which reflects the cost of medical practice) would be available to providers who form or join Medicare Networks. Payment rates would be frozen at current levels for physicians who remain in fee-for-service Medicare and temporarily frozen for other providers who remain in the fee-for-service program. The SGR formula for physician reimbursement would be eliminated. For geographic areas of the nation that could not set up alternative delivery systems, the secretary of health and human services would be authorized to ensure adequate reimbursement levels to fee-for-service providers.
Recommendation: Establish a standardized minimum benefit for Medicare Advantage plans — including all services covered by traditional Medicare, a cost-sharing limit to protect against catastrophic expenses, and slightly lower cost sharing for services than in traditional Medicare — and pay plans with the use of a competitive-pricing system.
We also propose to bring market forces to bear on Medicare Advantage by implementing a competitive-bidding structure. Today, many Medicare Advantage plans compete for beneficiaries by offering extra benefits, leading to higher costs. We propose a more rational system, in which Medicare Advantage plans would bid on a standardized Medicare benefit package and compete on the basis of price. Thus, beneficiaries would be able to make clear comparisons and choose the plan that offers the best value. This system would be phased in over time and include transitional protections for beneficiaries. Competitively bid payments to plans would take effect only in regions where the payments are lower than those under current law. Therefore, this policy will guarantee savings for the Medicare trust funds in regions where the new competitively bid price takes effect. Initially, a portion of the savings would be allocated to finance a reduction in beneficiary cost sharing. To help beneficiaries navigate plan selection, we propose a user-friendly, up-to-date Medicare Open Enrollment website.
Recommendation: In 2016, improve and strengthen the traditional Medicare benefit structure for Parts A and B by simplifying existing deductibles and providing protection against catastrophic costs. At the same time, restrict first-dollar supplemental coverage, increase support for low-income beneficiaries, and reduce subsidies to higher-income beneficiaries.
We propose to improve the Medicare benefit by providing long-overdue protection against catastrophic costs. We also would offer a modernized cost-sharing design, including a single annual deductible and predictable copayments. Our proposal would ensure that beneficiaries could visit a doctor for a reasonable copayment, even before meeting a deductible. In addition, we would prohibit first-dollar supplemental coverage that leads to greater use of services without necessarily producing better outcomes. We pursue further balance by providing new, substantial cost-sharing support to approximately 8 million low-income beneficiaries while reducing federal subsidies for higher-income persons.
Reform Tax Policy and Clarify Consolidation Rules
Recommendation: Replace the "Cadillac tax" on high-cost health insurance plans with a limit on the income-tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance.
We propose to target the limited financial resources of our nation on health care coverage and services that are valuable. The nation cannot achieve affordable care with an open-ended, overly generous subsidy for the purchase of private health insurance that predominantly benefits higher-income persons. The tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance makes providing health benefits cheaper than paying cash wages, thereby encouraging high-cost benefit designs and blunting incentives to deliver care more efficiently. We propose to reform and rationalize the current tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance and make it less regressive. We recommend replacing the flawed Cadillac tax on high-cost health insurance plans with a limit on the income-tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health benefits in 2015 at the 80th percentile of employer-sponsored–plan premiums. We also support replacing the current excise tax on fully insured plans with a paid-claims tax, to remove the current distortion that favors self-insured plans and to encourage all plans to adopt alternatives to fee-for-service payment.
Recommendation: Streamline and clarify the application of existing federal legal and regulatory guidance for private-sector entities seeking to form integrated, coordinated systems of care delivery.
Another strategy for aligning incentives to support high-quality, coordinated care delivery and payment is to ensure that private-sector payers and providers who want to form integrated delivery systems have clear guidance on how to do so without violating antitrust or fraud and abuse laws. We believe that guidance should be provided in this area and that there should be strong enforcement against consolidation that leads to anticompetitive behavior and to increases in cost.
Prioritize Quality, Prevention, and Wellness
Recommendation: Prioritize, consolidate, and improve the use of quality measures by consumers and practitioners.
Effective quality metrics are essential to accountability in organized systems of care. Quality-performance metrics must be precise and clinically relevant to create incentives for better delivery, to show providers how their performance relates to that of their peers, and to facilitate the real-time design and implementation of strategies to improve quality and safety. Quality metrics must also provide the meaningful data needed for patients and families to make informed choices. Although providers have pursued quality-metric design, evaluation, and reporting, as well as the identification of different quality metrics, the quality-reporting roles and responsibilities of organizations such as health plans and accrediting bodies are ill defined, leading to confusion and inefficiency. We would strengthen the quality-reporting system and the validity of available metrics by identifying redundant or inefficient metrics and by promulgating minimum requirements that are clinically relevant and useful to providers and also understandable and accessible to consumers.
Recommendation: Advance our understanding of the potential cost savings of prevention programs, by means of support for research and innovation on effective strategies to address costly chronic conditions.
We recommend exploring the potential of prevention in improving health and containing cost, as well as eliminating barriers to the wider implementation of preventive approaches, such as workplace wellness programs, that are found to be effective. Helpful strategies include support for better collection, analysis, and dissemination of data from prevention programs, and incentives that will engage small businesses in comprehensive worksite health promotion.
Encourage and Empower States
Recommendation: Adopt a broad strategy to deliver Medicare and Medicaid services to persons with dual eligibility through a single program.
The Medicaid program provides coverage to approximately 60 million low-income Americans, including pregnant women, low-income parents, children, and persons with disabilities. Approximately 9 million persons are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Persons with dual eligibility constitute a diverse population with many complex care needs. Historically, distinct federal law, regulation, program administration, and financing for Medicare and Medicaid have constrained opportunities to better integrate care between the two programs. We recommend that state and federal leaders work toward a more streamlined and coordinated approach to deliver care to persons with dual eligibility. In addition, we recommend several ways to strengthen demonstration projects that are currently under way for persons with dual eligibility.
Recommendation: Offer a federally funded financial incentive to states that enact reforms to the scope of practice for health professionals, medical liability systems, and insurance laws.
We support resources and incentives, rather than top-down mandates, to engage state leaders in supporting coordinated and accountable models of health care delivery and payment. To this end, we recommend policies to strengthen the primary care workforce and make greater use of nonphysician practitioners, to create safe harbors for physicians to improve the medical liability system and reduce the practice of defensive medicine, to address consolidation in the financing and delivery systems, and to promote price and quality transparency for consumers, families, and businesses.
We believe that the vision and recommendations articulated in our bipartisan report, if enacted together, would help to put our national health care system, as well as our economic outlook, on a more sustainable, healthful path for the future.

Op-Ed: America's Healthy Path to Fiscal Health
Project Syndicate | April 30, 2013
Over the last five years, the growth of health-care spending in the United States has slowed dramatically – to the lowest rate in the past 50 years. The slowdown is not a surprise. It is a predictable result of the recession and slow recovery that have left millions of Americans without health insurance and dampened household spending.
But the size of the slowdown is surprising, as is the fact that it started several years before the 2008 recession – and not only in the private insurance system, but also in Medicare and Medicaid, the two major government health programs. (Medicare provides health coverage for retirees, and Medicaid provides coverage for low-income Americans and their children and those with disabilities.)
What explains this slowdown in health-care spending? How much of it is attributable to the weak economy, and how much is the result of changes in provider and consumer behavior?
Two recent studies offer different answers, but both predict that at least some of the slowdown will persist even after the economy recovers. That would be good news for the US economy, which currently devotes nearly 18% of GDP to health care, by far the largest share among developed countries. It would also be good news for America's fiscal position, because Medicare and Medicaid are the two largest contributors to the long-term federal budget deficit.
The growth of health-care spending declined or remained unchanged in real (inflation-adjusted) terms each year between 2002 and 2011, falling to 3-3.1% in 2009-2011, the lowest rates on record since reporting began in 1960. Recent data indicate that after a slight acceleration in 2012, the growth of real health-care spending in 2013 has fallen back to its 2009-2011 average.
As a result of the recession and lagging recovery, health-care spending has also slowed significantly since 2009 throughout the OECD. Indeed, for the first time on record, real health-care spending stalled on average in the OECD in 2010, as developed countries, reeling from budgetary constraints, clamped down on health programs. Growth in health-care spending was slower in every OECD country in that year, with the exception of Germany.
A new study by Drew Altman, a respected health-care expert and President of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, concludes that slower growth in real GDP, along with a lower inflation rate, accounts for more than three-quarters of the slowdown in health-care spending in the US after 2001. The weak economy has caused people to postpone consumption of health-care services and has encouraged states and employers to restrain their spending on health.
But important cost-containing changes in the private health-care system, including more cost-sharing in private insurance plans and tighter controls in managed care, have also contributed to the slowdown. Altman conjectures that, overall, the growth in health-care spending between 2008 and 2012 was about one percentage point lower than predicted by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions alone. If this reduction continues after the economy recovers – as seems likely, given the cost-containment incentives in the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) – the US stands to spend $2 trillion less on health care over the coming decade.
Based on the relationship between changes in real per capita health-care spending and changes in unemployment rates at the state level, the recent Economic Report of the President concludes that the recession and lackluster recovery account for less than 20% of the slowdown in health-care spending since 2007 – and for an even smaller share of the slowdown that began in 2002. And difficult macroeconomic conditions explain little (if any) of the slowdown in Medicare spending per enrollee since 2001.
That is not unexpected, because the largely retired Medicare population is less vulnerable to macroeconomic fluctuations than is the working-age population. The Council of Economic Advisers, whose members write the president's report, surmise that structural changes – including stronger incentives for efficiency by hospitals and providers, more cost-sharing in insurance policies, and the substitution of generic drugs for branded drugs – explain most of the deceleration in per capita spending growth. They also suggest that payment reforms contributed to the slowdown in Medicare's spending growth after 2001, and that early responses to new Medicare regulations in the Affordable Care Act may have caused a further decline after 2010.
The long-term effect on the federal budget implied by a sustained reduction in the growth of Medicare and Medicaid spending to the rates of the last several years would be profound. These programs currently claim 21% of the budget, with Medicare accounting for two-thirds of that amount. Even a small reduction in the growth of these programs would save billions of dollars. Based on the unexpected slowdown in spending growth during the last few years, the Congressional Budget Office recently cut its ten-year projections for these programs by 3.5%, reducing the ten-year deficit by $382 billion.
In 2011, Medicare spending accounted for 3.7% of GDP. Based on current policies, the government forecasts that Medicare spending per beneficiary will grow at an average annual rate of 4.3% and will rise to 6.7% of GDP over the next 75 years. If, instead, Medicare spending per beneficiary grew by only 3.6% a year, the average rate of the last five years, Medicare's share of GDP would remain unchanged. This would narrow the fiscal gap, a widely used measure of long-term budgetary imbalance, by almost one-third.
Trends in the US budget reflect an inconvenient truth: If the growth of spending on health-care programs cannot be slowed, stabilizing the federal debt at a sustainable level will require deep cuts in spending on other priorities and increases in taxes on the middle class. The recent slowdown in the growth of health-care spending is a promising sign that America's budgetary tradeoffs may turn out to be less difficult than expected.
Report: Health Care and Revenue Savings Options
Op-Ed: An Extremely Mucked Up Medicare Debate
Government We Deserve | October 29, 2012
Medicare is taking on a primary role in the presidential race. The discussion often turns to whether the program should continue in its current form, with more direct government controls over costs, or shift its emphasis to vouchers or premium support plans. Let's try to set the record straight.
Lowering Medicare spending growth over the next 10 years from, say, an additional $500 billion to an additional $400 billion means spending $100 billion less on covered services. It doesn't matter for budget purposes the source of the saving. It is a benefit reduction.
Both presidential candidates claim to save money on Medicare without cutting benefits. President Obama says his reforms "will save Medicare money by getting rid of wasteful spending…that won't touch your guaranteed Medicare benefits. Not by a single dime." Meanwhile, Governor Romney promises that his "premium support" plan will save money while still providing "coverage and service at least as good as what today's seniors receive."
But politicians aren't the only ones dispensing that free-lunch rhetoric. Even highly respected journalists and researchers get pulled into it.
Consider two New York Times stories. After the first presidential debate, Michael Cooper, Jackie Calmes, Annie Lowrey, Robert Pear and John M. Broder said that President Obama "DID NOT CUT BENEFITS by $716 billion over 10 years as part of his 2010 health care law; rather, he reduced Medicare reimbursements to health care providers." A few days later, David Brooks cited an AMA study of a premium support plan put forward by vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, saying that "costs might have come down by around 9 percent with NO REDUCTION IN BENEFITS" [cap emphases mine].
Can you see what is going on? Politicians, reporters, and experts all recognize that cost growth must be brought under control. But they also want to suggest that benefits won't be reduced—if only we go with a particular approach.
It's one thing to say that we can spend $100 billion less on health care so we can use the money better for education or tax cuts or paying off our debt. But it's another thing to pretend that we can get $100 billion more in educational benefits or money in our pockets and absolutely the same quality of health care.
We know from personal experience that certain medical procedures, at the end of the day, are worthless or worse. But there's no budget line called "worthless health care" that our elected officials can bravely vote to reduce.
Instead, we are left with blunt instruments to control costs. A Medicare board may recommend or members of Congress may elect to cut payments to providers, as they have done many times in the past. One can argue such cutting may not produce a great loss in services, depending upon how providers and consumers react. But no loss whatsoever? Come on! Try lowering government payments for anything—rental vouchers, school lunches, highways—and see if the same services are provided.
Similarly, suppose that Congress puts more Medicare recipients into a premium support system, like Medicare Advantage–type plans run by health maintenance and similar organizations. The system then limits the growth rate of payments to those groups. Again, there's less money to go around.
Both the regulatory and voucher approaches have a precise accounting correspondence. If the government spends $100 billion less, then it purchases $100 billion less in services and makes $100 billion fewer payments to providers.
Back to the presidential and vice presidential debates. Directly trying to control prices for individual services may not have the same effect as trying to control the total amount paid for all services under a premium, and vice versa. But no candidate can deny that he favors benefit cuts relative to today's unsustainable promises.
To add to the confusion, each side talks as if some idealized system of cost control or premium support exists. Almost inevitably, we will be taking ideas from both approaches. We'll cut back on high reimbursement rates when we believe the effect on actual services would be moderate and, at the same time, use limited budgets to encourage providers to operate more efficiently. For instance, we might lower the payment rates for many operations faster and simultaneously induce more Medicare recipients to opt into groups like Kaiser-Permanente that make many allocation decisions within a fixed budget.
Ferreting out the truth in this Medicare debate also requires looking beyond health care. Benefit losses in health care must be contrasted with benefit gains elsewhere. Yet even health care will likely be much worse if we continue to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more from unfriendly nations and let excessive debt inhibit economic growth.
Bottom line: both parties favor cutting Medicare benefits, or, more accurately, slowing down the rate of benefit growth. The issue isn't whether but how this can best be done.

Roleplay Central
Lucas yelped on impact of the kick and crashed into the ground. "I just need to find shelter."
He looked around. About an hour later he found a cave. There was a stream outside providing water. He had found a few rabbits along the way, food.
He began to make a wall in the entrance of the cave out of rocks. soom he made an opening that only he, the fox, could slip into he was sure no one else would get in. He grbbed leaves and branches to help his wall blend in, keep his new home hidden. He stepped back and looked at his work. Impossible to tell it was a cave -his new den.
He quickly slipped inside and covered his enrace with a rock.

Rivers puts pressure on Celtic reserves
Posted by Staff November 6, 2012 01:28 PM
The Celtics host Washington Wednesday and Philadelphia Friday, then visit Milwaukee Saturday.
"No, I'm not going to let them do more," Rivers said after practice Tuesday. "I'm going to play Kevin about the same amount of minutes.
"(Rajon) Rondo, you can go anywhere. But if we can't win with him off the floor we just won't win. And I told our bench that. We're going to play the minutes that I'm giving them and the bench is going to play the minutes they should get. And they've got to do something or we won't win -- it will be that simple."

Komando's Q & A
Try an Office alternative
Published: Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 11:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 11:57 a.m.
Question: I need to get productivity software for my computer, but Microsoft Office is so expensive. Is there a less expensive alternative?
Answer: Microsoft Office has become the worldwide standard productivity suite, but it isn't the only one around. Check out the free OpenOffice. It has 95 percent of Office's features, and it's easy to use. OpenOffice is also compatible with Office formats. Most users will find it more than acceptable. You might also be interested in an online alternative. Google Docs and Microsoft's Office Web Apps are free popular choices. They have far fewer features than Office, but they are adequate. And you can access your documents from any computer. Find links to these programs at www.komando.com/news.
Question: I'm thinking of buying a Blu-ray player, but I don't know if I need to buy one. How long will it take for Blu-ray to replace DVDs?
Answer: DVDs will eventually be replaced, but it won't happen for a while. VHS tapes hung on for 12 years after DVDs were introduced. Expect to see DVDs on sale until at least 2013. And don't forget that Blu-ray Disc players also handle DVDs. However, Blu-ray might not be what replaces DVD. Online video streaming is growing rapidly. It could very well replace both. If you buy a Blu-ray player, get one that streams online video as well. Fortunately, the ability to stream online video is becoming a standard feature.
Question: I was planning to buy a new MacBook Air. However, it only comes with a solid-state hard drive. Should I get something with a regular hard drive instead?
Answer: Solid-state hard drives are quickly entering the mainstream computer market. These rely on flash memory instead of rotating magnetic media. That means they're faster, more durable and more energy efficient. Unfortunately, they're also more expensive and have smaller storage sizes. However, they will continue to get larger and less expensive as time passes. Not all SSDs are worth your money, but the ones for the MacBook Air will definitely work well. And the storage capacities are large enough to suit most users.
Question: I hear that dual computer monitors can increase productivity. I'm starting school again and can use all the help I can get. Are dual monitors hard to set up?
Answer: Running dual monitors used to be tricky. Now it's incredibly easy. Almost all recent video cards come with two monitor ports. Some can even handle three to six monitors. Just plug the monitors in and go. Unfortunately, that won't work on a laptop. Or maybe you don't want to install a new video card. In that case, look at a product like Matrox's DualHead2Go (starting around $200). It lets you split one video port into two. You don't have to open up your computer. Just don't expect to do any serious gaming with it.
Question: I just got laid off from my job after 15 years and I'm trying to find a new job online. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. Do you have any tips?
Answer: The Internet provides many opportunities for finding a job. Unfortunately, there are also many fake and scam job listings. Weeding out the bad stuff can be difficult. You will definitely want to go with specialized sites. These will help you find legitimate jobs in your area of expertise. You can get a listing of specialized sites and more job-hunting tips at Komando.com/news. They'll help you find a great new job.

Arrived in a timely manner from clear across the country. Looks great, sounds great, is great. I have a convertible and it fits just fine. However, some of the extra bracing needed loosening in order to fit the exhaust. I had an exhaust shop do the install and it took about an hour.

CWordArray Class
Supports arrays of 16-bit words.
The member functions of CWordArray are similar to the member functions of class CObArray. Because of this similarity, you can use the CObArray reference documentation for member function specifics. Wherever you see a CObject pointer as a function parameter or return value, substitute a WORD.
CObject* CObArray::GetAt( int <nIndex> ) const;
for example, translates to
WORD CWordArray::GetAt( int <nIndex> ) const;
CWordArray incorporates the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro to support serialization and dumping of its elements. If an array of words is stored to an archive, either with an overloaded insertion operator or with the CObject::Serialize member function, each element is, in turn, serialized.
Before using an array, use SetSize to establish its size and allocate memory for it. If you do not use SetSize, adding elements to your array causes it to be frequently reallocated and copied. Frequent reallocation and copying are inefficient and can fragment memory.
If you need a dump of individual elements in the array, you must set the depth of the dump context to 1 or greater.
For more information on using CWordArray, see the article Collections.

Do your eyes glaze over when you see all the IT buzzwords thrown at you today? Sure they do.
Like anything involving language, words tend to lose their meaning when use too frequently or improperly. It can be a particular problem when complex topics overlap as they often do at the Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit running through Wednesday in Los Angeles.
In an effort to combat that, two Gartner execs boiled down the challenges facing today's IT managers to just four words, setting the stage for the 2,000-plus attendees attending the show in the JW Marriott. Managing VP Susan Landry and Research Vice President Jeffrey Mann focused on engagement, digital, content and integration while refining the meanings of those words to apply to today's context.
Why are those words more important than all the other techno-babble terms floating around? "Because they are bigger for a reason. They matter," said Mann as he and Landry began their keynote presentation.
Engagement, Mann noted, can be used many ways, but in the workplace refers to whether workers are able to effectively use the systems that IT puts into place. An engagement, he said, is something always planned and agreed to. For Gartner, it is also part of a three-point approach to IT: engagement, consumerization and the changing nature of work.
Consumerization is related because it has raised the expectations of workers who now rely on sophisticated tools and apps in their personal lives. When they arrive at the office, they expect the systems to work at least that well, but the tools often fall short -- leaving the workers unengaged. Mann noted some innovative startups and enterprise engineers create better apps that reflect their passion, and these are almost always better. "You can always tell the difference between these applications -- the ones built by the unengaged and the ones built by someone who really cares about it," noted Mann.
He cited data from the Conference Board that shows companies rated in the top 25 percent for worker engagement have 2.5 times the revenue growth as their less-engaging rivals. Gallup, however, found that only about 13 percent of workers say they feel engaged in their work.
"What you find is that disengaged employees will be killing your business," he said.
We live in the digital age, carry digital devices and digitize just about everything we can. But do we work in truly digital businesses? Not so much, said Landry.
She made her point with a vignette about the retail boutique Story, which reinvents itself every six weeks or so in the manner of a magazine or a gallery. On the digital front, it positions an infrared camera above its display floor to create a heat map of the areas that attract the most attention from shoppers. They then re-arrange displays to improve the results, continually changing the business. In its current iteration, the company has focused on the theme of "color," bringing in large partners who can share in the heat map data generated in stores.
While many stores might be happy to see customers spending 10-15 minutes on the show floor, Landry said Story's visitors linger for an average of 40 minutes.
"Each of you have the opportunity to help your organizations on their own digital journeys," she said, urging the IT professionals in the audience to recognize the difference between simply digitizing what they've always done and transforming the business with the help of digital technologies.
Content, in the IT world, is often linked to "management," but Mann said he now dislikes the term "content management" because it can infer such things as managing or minimizing a problem. Content is much more than that, and it is much more than the text documents that need to be shared or saved in the database. It also includes sounds, files, movies, likes, tweets and other types of information..

Jared Sullinger recovered from first-half foul trouble to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds, helping Ohio State beat top-seeded Syracuse, 77-70, on Saturday to advance to the Final Four in New Orleans. The second-seeded Buckeyes will play the winner of Sunday's North Carolina-Kansas game.
"We're not going down to New Orleans for a vacation. It's a business trip," said Sullinger, who picked up his second foul 6 minutes into the game and did not return the rest of the half. "These guys have played without me before, so they know what they have to do."
Deshaun Thomas scored 14 with nine rebounds for Ohio State (31-7), which led by eight points with 59 seconds to play and held on after the Orange (34-3) cut it to three. The Buckeyes made 13 of 14 free throws in the final 68 seconds and 31 of 42 from the line in all.
When the Buckeyes closed out February with three defeats in five games, Matta had more reason to worry. But he got the response he was hoping for.
"That loss opened their eyes and said, 'Hey, maybe we're not as good as we think we are,'" Matta said. "Maybe it got us pointed in the right direction."
Brandon Triche scored 15 points and Baye Keita had 10 rebounds for Syracuse.
In a tightly officiated game that left Sullinger on the bench in foul trouble for most of the first half and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim not-quite muzzled after picking up a technical foul, it came down to free throws. Syracuse was called for 29 fouls — its most in more than three years — despite playing its usual 2-3 zone.
Boeheim didn't like several of them.
He picked up a technical for objecting to a foul in the first half, and he escaped another in the second half despite shouting his profane complaint across the court.
Afterward, Boeheim gave a terse "No comment" when asked if the officials hurt the flow of the game. A statement from the officiating crew chief said Boeheim was given a technical for being out of the coaching box and gesturing about a call.
"We're not going to blame it on the refs," said guard Scoop Jardine, who had 14 points and six assists. "I think we had a chance to win the game no matter what, with the refs or without them giving us any calls."

Even if ATT did lose their exclusivity I don't think they would stop selling the iPhone. No one seems to understand this. Apple is going to dump ATT for someone else. They will just expand carriers. I am pretty sure once ATT loses their exclusivity agreement with Apple they will still sell iPhones.
That being said, Randall Stephenson's comments don't mean jack regarding ATT losing their exclusivity.
Edit.. apple is NOT going to dump ATT for someone else.

Seattle Pacific's men's basketball team hasn't made a habit of beating UAA in Anchorage, but the 13th-ranked Falcons pulled away in convincing fashion down the stretch Saturday to knock off the 25th-ranked Seawolves 85-79.
The Great Northwest Athletic Conference foes were tied at 49-49 with less than 10 minutes remaining, but a hush came over a crowded Wells Fargo Sports Complex when Seattle Pacific's Patrick Simon nailed a 3-pointer to put the Falcons up 71-60 with 3:08 to go.
"For us this game has been big on our schedule every year," Seattle Pacific coach Ryan Looney said. "We feel like coming to Anchorage and playing at UAA is as tough a game as we have on our schedule."
Saturday's win was the first in Anchorage for Looney, who is in his fourth year coaching the Falcons (7-1, 2-0 GNAC).
Including Saturday's loss, UAA (7-2, 1-1) owns a 27-7 record at home against Seattle Pacific.
"We missed a lot defensive assignments and we also missed a lot free throws in that last 10 minutes, which could have kept us close," UAA coach Rusty Osborne said. "It's a little disappointing, 'cause we're a good free-throw shooting team."
Fans groaned over and over as the Seawolves missed free throws in the closing minutes, a couple times at the front end of one-and-one's. Fans came back to life when Kyle Fossman (15 points) drilled a 3-pointer to pull UAA within six with 52 seconds remaining, but Seattle Pacific calmly closed the win.
Simon, who was vomiting in a trash can at the end of the Seattle Pacific bench early in the second half, scored his team's final points on a reverse layup with 21 seconds to go. The 6-foot-8 junior is Seattle Pacific's leading scorer this season.
"He's been battling the flu all weekend," Looney said. "He had 30 at Fairbanks (on Thursday), but anytime he was on the bench he had his head in the trash can throwing up and he was battling it again tonight."
Simon (15 points) was one of five players to score in double figures for the Falcons, who got a game-high 20 from Jobi Wall and a double-double from David Downs (13 points, 12 assists).
Teancum Stafford led UAA in scoring for the second straight game, pumping in 19 points. Stafford also drew the unenviable task of guarding Simon most of the night and said he let him escape for a few too many open shots.
"His length is really advantageous for him, playing from the four spot and being longer than just about everybody on the court," Stafford said. "He can really shoot and I think he proved that tonight."
Simon wasn't the only Falcon using size to his advantage. On numerous occasions, UAA players were easily bumped away from loose balls and rebounds by the bigger Seattle Pacific players. Andy Poling, a 6-foot-11, 255-pounder, hauled in eight rebounds to help give the Falcons a 31-26 edge on the boards.
The size disadvantage was nothing UAA hadn't prepared for, however, and Osborne thought there were stretches in which the Seawolves handled it well.
"They have great size and they're very disciplined," Osborne said. "When we did what we practiced, we took advantage of their size and they had trouble with our quickness."
The Seawolves have two weeks off before their next game against Northwest Indian College. They won't face the Falcons again until the last day of February and Stafford said the game will make a nice target to work toward.
"It's good to have maybe a chip on your shoulder to just remind you, 'Hey, you didn't get what you wanted,' " he said.
Wall 5-10 8-8 20; Simon 5-13 2-2 15; Downs 2-6 7-8 13; Hutsen 6-7 0-0 12; Poling 4-8 3-7 11; Stockton 2-3 2-2 8; Morse 1-2 1-2 4; Carroll 1-2 0-2 2; Todd 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 26-51 23-31 85.

Ok, I know this isn't the most exciting outfit, but there's something to be said for feeling good about your work clothes, especially when you work at an office as fashionably conservative as I do. Also, I always like an outfit that makes me feel like I walked out of a Ralph Lauren ad. Tally ho!
Topshop blazer, Express dress, H&M tights (love them), vintage Ferragamo boots (also love them)

& I feel your pain about a fashionably conservative office. I get a comment if I change my hairstyle! =S
The whole ensemble looks fantastic! :) x
Yeah, I do too. I try to think of creating something interesting within those boundaries as a challenge, though it can be stifling sometimes...ReplyDelete

Artived at 1 am after long trip with kids. Entered room at least 85 degrees. Heater left on high. Slept with window open all nite. Cool by morning . Locked truck with Xmas presents in back of truck under locked canopy. Asked front desk if it'is safe if locked in front of location ? No problem . We had parked in front lights on alarm set dog in kennel in canopy. We lost 1 brand new snowboard(present for daughter). And set of skis for wife. Not good experience
Checking out a day early.
The casino next door attracted really sketchy characters who smoked outside the casino and very near the hotel. I did not feel safe outside after dark because of the vagrants near the hotel and because of what appeared to be drug deals going down in the shared parking lot of the casino-hotel. Even though the hotel is completely non-smoking, employees smoked on the back patio of the hotel and the smoke came inside the breakfast room and the lobby.
New, clean room, two beds. Kids loved the pool, Lenny (our black lab) loved the elevator. Great value for the miney

text: Demon's Souls is a great game with a lot of depth and features, however it's not for most gamers. Most people will be turned off before the finish of the first level. With so many character options, great levels, and relentless enemies it begs to be seen, though. Not everyone will finish the game, but if you have a PS3 you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try. A/A+
