Farmingdale, NJ (PRWEB) July 25, 2012
Health Care Software, Inc. (HCS) announced today the general availability of its LTCH CARE Data Set solution.
LTCH CARE Data Set compliance is required by CMS under the Long Term Care Hospital Quality Reporting Program mandate. The CMS published start date for this mandated reporting is October 1, 2012. HCS is now demonstrating and scheduling deployment for our solution to allow our clients adequate time to prepare for this fast approaching deadline.
For more than a decade, HCS has served the LTAC (long-term acute care hospital) provider community and continues its commitment to meeting the needs of our LTAC clients with the development of our state-of-the-art, web-based SaaS (Software as a Service) solution.
According to Darren Yonkin, Chief Technology Officer of HCS, "When developing our solution we not only leveraged our 15+ years of working with CMS data sets, but also solicited direct input from our clients to ensure a solution that automates the process and is intuitive and easy to use." Additionally, Mr. Yonkin added, "Another key development concern was security which we addressed by ensuring that our solution incorporated the highest levels of data and access security available in the industry today."
Highlights of the solution include:
- ����Demographic data population (available via HL7 optional interface)

News broke at the end of April 2012 a live-action Halo original web series was in the works. It was revealed the entertainment property would be the product of a collaboration between 343 Industries (an internal division of Microsoft that functions as a ?steward? of the Halo franchise) and Machinima.com (the biggest YouTube network on the planet) and released in five weekly installments under the banner of Forward Unto Dawn on Waypoint (Halo?s online community) and Machinima Prime (the biggest YouTube network?s channel that?s part of the $100 Million YouTube Originals Initiative). The online original is expected to be one of (if not the) biggest online originals to date in terms of budget and eyeballs. Allen Debevoise, the CEO at Machinima, told me during a keynote Q&A at OMMA Video he believes the series may be a tipping point for online video. ?This program has the potential to be for Machinima what Oz was for HBO,? he said, before he noted how the one-hour drama put HBO on the map as a major player in the original entertainment industry and laid a solid foundation for future HBO mega hits like The Sopranos. If you can judge an entire, multi-episode, multi-million dollar original web series by a 57-second teaser trailer, Debevoise may be right.
