TTSH launches system to track surgical tools

TTSH launches system to track surgical tools
By Vimita Mohandas | Posted: 10 August 2011 2257 hrs

SINGAPORE: In its bid to become more efficient, Tan Tock Seng Hospital recently launched the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for surgical set tracking.

It now takes the hospital staff a minute to recall a contaminated surgical set, down from about eight minutes previously.

This technology, which costs some S$147,000, was developed jointly with A*STAR.

The RFID technology notes the movements of surgical sets by tracking where the sets have been in real-time.

The automated system has helped cut the amount of time spent on recalling contaminated surgical sets by 87 per cent.

As a result, Tan Tock Seng Hospital said potential infections are better contained.

Not only that, the RFID technology has also improved staff's productivity.

Nurse manager Han Tiew Peng said: "In the old system without RFID, we could have used about eight to 10 staff members to recall about 700 sets in a potential case.

"But now with RFID, a lot of time has been saved using fewer staff and less time because we can actually use the current set location with RFID technology to trace the sets. The staff can then go to the location and retrieve the sets immediately."

With this technology, staff members can log on to find out the place where the surgical sets can be found.

And by looking at the number of sets in store, they will also be able to know how many surgical sets will be distributed to the operating theatres.

The automated system can now capture information which previously had to be done manually, like patient information.

It also highlights to staff any expired equipment.

For a start, the hospital has tagged about 300 surgical sets and aims to increase the number to about 3,000 by the end of the year.

Apple most popular employer among fresh grads

Apple most popular employer among fresh grads
Posted: 11 August 2011 1257 hrs
 
SINGAPORE: Apple, the maker of the iPhone and iPad, is the most popular employer among entry-level jobseekers in Singapore.

This is the second consecutive year that the technology giant clinched the top spot in the annual survey by JobsCentral.

Close to 40 per cent of the more than 3,200 local university students and graduates surveyed chose it as the company they would like to work for.

CEO of JobsCentral, Lim Der Shing, said Apple's cool factor doesn't just affect the sales of its products, but has clearly spilt over to have a positive influence on its image as an employer.

But Mr Lim added, "Just like the popular gadgets that Apple produces, it's yet to be seen whether it's a passing fad or a trend that's here to stay."

While Apple is the employer of choice overall, Google appears to appeal most to the crème de la crème among the respondents.

Among those who received or expect to graduate with a First Class Honours or Summa Cum Laude, the majority expressed that they would like to work for Google.

Last year, Google came in second in the rankings among these top students, trailing behind Apple.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) displaced Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as the top government employer.

STB has been the most popular employer in the public sector, according to the survey, for the past three years.

The survey also looked into the salary expectations of fresh graduates.

Similar to last year, most respondents picked a range between S$2,500 and S$2,999 as their expected monthly salary for their first job.

However, a greater percentage of respondents this year (33 per cent) selected the S$3,000-S$3,499 range compared to last year (27.8 per cent).

While only 15.8 per cent of the respondents expected more than S$3,500 for their first job last year, 21.9 per cent of this year's respondents expect at least S$3,500 for their first job.

Asian govts likely to hold back raising interest rates, analysts say

Asian govts likely to hold back raising interest rates, analysts say
By Rachel Kelly | Posted: 10 August 2011 2257 hrs

SINGAPORE: Asian governments are expected to hold back on raising interest rates for at least the next few weeks.

This follows the Federal Reserve's downbeat assessment of the US economy, and its stated intention to keep interest rates near zero for another two years.

Analysts said it is likely that regional governments will also keep interest rates on hold.

However, regional economies could be falling to the dilemma of interest rates being too low, but inflation being too high, and analysts said that real negative interest rates could be a problem.

In China, for example, inflation hit a three-year highs of 6.5 per cent in July.

Alvin Liew, senior economist at United Overseas Bank, said: "Certainly with that announcement, even though some of the central banks have some tightening bias, they may need to put it on hold for at least the next few weeks to look at how the market is going to pan out.

"One that is coming up the earliest would be Bank of Korea. I think market expectations are they will put their interest rate hikes on hold until more clarity in the financial markets.

"But, we do still see that some of the banks have a bias to some of the tightening.

"For example, in terms of China, we do see interest rate hikes sometime in Q3, but obviously the financial markets are not helping."

While Asian markets rebounded following Tuesday's Federal Reserve statement, further volatility is widely expected.

Mr Liew added: "If any data comes out that is more negative from the US, be it a jump in initial job claims or some negative comments coming out from the Senate due to the S&P downgrade, that could again send the markets down."

Wong Sui Jau, general manager at Fundsupermart, said: "On a fundamental basis, there is nothing wrong with Asia.

"But because US is such an important part of the world, so what we are likely to see (are) markets (starting) to stabilise going into next week because investors have some time to adjust and absorb the negative as well as the positive news."

Detection and Deployment Tools and Guidance

Security Central
Manage the software and security updates you need to deploy to the servers, desktop, and mobile computers in your organization. For more information see the TechNet Update Management Center. The TechNet Security Center provides additional information about security in Microsoft products. Consumers can visit Security At Home, where this information is also available by clicking "Latest Security Updates".
Security updates are available from Microsoft Update and Windows Update. Security updates are also available at the Microsoft Download Center. You can find them most easily by doing a keyword search for "security update".
For customers of Microsoft Office for Mac, Microsoft AutoUpdate for Mac can help keep your Microsoft software up to date. For more information about using Microsoft AutoUpdate for Mac, see Check for software updates automatically.
Finally, security updates can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The Microsoft Update Catalog provides a searchable catalog of content made available through Windows Update and Microsoft Update, including security updates, drivers and service packs. By searching using the security bulletin number (such as, "MS07-036"), you can add all of the applicable updates to your basket (including different languages for an update), and download to the folder of your choosing. For more information about the Microsoft Update Catalog, see the Microsoft Update Catalog FAQ.
Detection and Deployment Guidance
Microsoft provides detection and deployment guidance for security updates. This guidance contains recommendations and information that can help IT professionals understand how to use various tools for detection and deployment of security updates. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 961747.
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) allows administrators to scan local and remote systems for missing security updates as well as common security misconfigurations. For more information about MBSA, visit Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
Windows Server Update Services
By using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), administrators can quickly and reliably deploy the latest critical updates and security updates for Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems and later, Office XP and later, Exchange Server 2003, and SQL Server 2000 to Microsoft Windows 2000 and later operating systems.
For more information about how to deploy this security update using Windows Server Update Services, visit Windows Server Update Services.
System Center Configuration Manager 2007
Configuration Manager 2007 Software Update Management simplifies the complex task of delivering and managing updates to IT systems across the enterprise. With Configuration Manager 2007, IT administrators can deliver updates of Microsoft products to a variety of devices including desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices.
The automated vulnerability assessment in Configuration Manager 2007 discovers needs for updates and reports on recommended actions. The Software Update Management in Configuration Manager 2007 is built on Microsoft Windows Software Update Services (WSUS), a time-tested update infrastructure that is familiar to IT administrators worldwide. For more information about how administrators can use Configuration Manager 2007 to deploy updates, see Software Update Management. For more information about Configuration Manager, visit System Center Configuration Manager.
Systems Management Server 2003
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) delivers a highly-configurable enterprise solution for managing updates. By using SMS, administrators can identify Windows-based systems that require security updates and to perform controlled deployment of these updates throughout the enterprise with minimal disruption to end users.
Note System Management Server 2003 is out of mainstream support as of January 12, 2010. For more information on product lifecycles, visit Microsoft Support Lifecycle. The next release of SMS, System Center Configuration Manager 2007, is now available; see the earlier section, System Center Configuration Manager 2007.
For more information about how administrators can use SMS 2003 to deploy security updates, see Scenarios and Procedures for Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003: Software Distribution and Patch Management. For information about SMS, visit the Microsoft Systems Management Server TechCenter.
Note SMS uses the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer to provide broad support for security bulletin update detection and deployment. Some software updates may not be detected by these tools. Administrators can use the inventory capabilities of SMS in these cases to target updates to specific systems. For more information about this procedure, see Deploying Software Updates Using the SMS Software Distribution Feature. Some security updates require administrative rights following a restart of the system. Administrators can use the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool (available in the SMS 2003 Administration Feature Pack) to install these updates.
Update Compatibility Evaluator and Application Compatibility Toolkit
Updates often write to the same files and registry settings required for your applications to run. This can trigger incompatibilities and increase the time it takes to deploy security updates. You can streamline testing and validating Windows updates against installed applications with the Update Compatibility Evaluator components included with Application Compatibility Toolkit.
The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) contains the necessary tools and documentation to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying Microsoft Windows Vista, a Windows Update, a Microsoft Security Update, or a new version of Windows Internet Explorer in your environment.
