HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. HIPAA evolved as a result of the rapid evolution of health information systems technology as well as the challenges for maintaining the confidentiality of health information. HIPAA was introduced initially as the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill, an outgrowth of the Clinton administration s attempt to revamp the health care system. The result in HIPAA was an effort to streamline and standardize the health care system and to establish the privacy of subject information. The result of this effort was the issuance of the final HIPAA rules in August, 2002, which establish the requirements that prevent the disclosure of individually identifiable health information (Privacy Rule) (1) without authorization from the subject. An accidental posting of individuals health records and fraudulent use of medical records precipitated the passage of HIPAA. 

As mentioned above, the Wodd Wide Web is a hypertext-based database system of multimedia content. It can be used for building either local or global information systems. It is interactive, which means that the information flow can be bidirectional (from the database to the user and from the user to the database). It integrates all the other traditional information system technologies, such as ftp, gopher (a predecessor of the WWW in organizing and displaying files on dedicated servers), and news. 

In our situation, we have a number of hospitals connected to a central PACS and RIS while using the same workflow. Physicians will not notice whether an image only needed to travel from the basement or instead was transmitted over a distance of 30 km. However, the radiological workflow of these hospitals is exactly the same and supported by the same information system. Technology makes that these sites seem to be under the same roof, but these sites also work as one single organization.

In Iowa, crash data and analysis are developed and distributed to state and local agencies. Some reports on trends, year-to-year comparisons, and specific categories (e.g., motorcycle, fatal) are developed on a biweekly basis. The Iowa DOT has a close and productive relationship with the Iowa State University, Governor s Traffic Safety Bureau, and enforcement community. The Iowa Traffic Safety Data Service is a product of that partnership and provides users with readily available crash data analysis resources and uses geographic information systems technology. 

A useful classification of sensitizing dyes is the one adopted to describe patents in image technology. In Table 1, the Image Technology Patent Information System (ITPAIS), dye classes and representative patent citations from the ITPAIS file are Hsted as a function of significant dye class. From these citations it is clear that preferred sensitizers for silver haUdes are polymethine dyes (cyanine, merocyanine, etc), whereas other semiconductors have more evenly distributed citations. Zinc oxide, for example, is frequendy sensitized by xanthene dyes (qv) or triarylmethane dyes (see Triphenylmethane and related dyes) as well as cyanines and merocyanines (see Cyanine dyes). 

ITPAIS, the Image Technology Patent Information System was developed between 1975—1985 by Eastman Kodak Co., Agfa-Gevaert (Antwerp/Leverkusen), and Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., and encompasses selected patents and Hterature references related principally to the chemical aspects of image technology. Search terms used for this table were the same as in the previous edition, and the Derwent patent database was used for the search data presented here. 

There is a good chance that you have had some contact with geographic information systems (GIS). A GIS is a computer representation of a system that uses all pertinent survey and database information to generate intelligent maps and queries. Much has been published on the subject. In addition there are many vendors of the technology and many seminars. GIS is a complicated subject. Several early GIS projects were not successful. Often GIS projects are very expensive. 

There are some aspects of process design in which decisions are based primarily on past experience rather than on quantitative performance models. Problems of this type include the selection of constraction materials, the selection of appropriate models for evaluating the physical properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures of components, and the selection of safety systems. Advances in expert systems technology and information management will have a profound impact on expressing the solutions to these problems. 

In this chapter, we briefly review various aspects of the chemical information systems used by the chemist for literature and patent searches the field of computer-aided drug design technologies, cheminformatics, as well as other applications. We place special emphases on the ligand-based techniques and only briefly mention the structure-based design technologies. 

The development of start-up companies in the field of micro-systems technology, including microfluidics, has been reviewed by Wicht et al. [244]. Different types of business models are presented as well as the corresponding growth models. The development of start-ups in Germany in the last 10 years is presented and the product offer is discussed. This is compared with the situation in other European countries. Finally, information on problems and opportimities for the start-ups is provided.
