A three-day International Greening Education Event will be held from 19th to 21st of October, 2011 in the green city of Karlsruhe, Germany. This event will take academia, education, environmental and sustainable development policy makers, senior members of academic institutions, representatives of government and non-governmental organisations and international development agencies, administrators and teachers, sustainable development practitioners and environmental management professionals through the need for greening education and then discuss effective initiatives that educational institutions need to take to make sustainability an integral part of teaching and learning.

 

The event provides an exclusive forum to examine how global warming, climate change and other environmental concerns are reshaping education globally, deliberate on the role of academia in making world cleaner, greener and more sustainable, discuss cutting-edge issues in greening education and share best practices from around the world in respect to education for sustainability.

 

Further to the knowledge sharing on greening education including topics such as ecologizing curriculum (incorporating sustainability), greening of courses and creating low carbon education institutions; the upcoming event also provides an excellent networking opportunity with academia, sustainable development practitioners and other stakeholders in Europe and beyond.

ResultsSMS Brings Order in Health Management in Developing World – Patients and Providers Synced

0

 

ResultsSMS is a Short Message Service (SMS)-based results delivery system that builds on existing electronic medical record systems to automatically send test results to patients (via SMS) as well as healthcare providers and researchers (via SMS or email) as they became available. The system includes features to allow for patient confidentiality through password protection and results compilation for healthcare providers and researchers. It is built in the platform of the popular OpenMRS which is an electronic medical record platform.

 

This was developed on the basis of  health crises in the developing world which the developers brilliantly captured:

 

Many medical test results in the developing world are never received by patients and not acted on by healthcare providers. This negatively impacts both patient care and research efforts that rely on effective data collection to draw meaningful conclusions. A system that could significantly increase the rate of test result delivery and follow-up could therefore improve both patient outcomes and the quality of research performed in developing countries.
