Electronic patient records contain a treasure trove of data, and researchers are using natural language processing technology to mine the structured data and free text.
Are Two Monitors Better Than One?
Whether workers in a data-intensive environment are more productive with a single monitor or with multiple monitors can depend on the size of the single monitor, a person's ability to be undistracted, and the number of pixels in sight.
Scientific data is expanding at an unprecedented rate. While new tools are helping preserve this data, funding must be increased and policy coordination needs improvement.
