TMCNet: University Of North Dakota: 'GO LOCAL NORTH DAKOTA' Web Site Links Consumers with Healthcare Resources

[September 29, 2008]

University Of North Dakota: 'GO LOCAL NORTH DAKOTA' Web Site Links Consumers with Healthcare Resources

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:29092008

MANDAN, N.D. -- People throughout North Dakota now have a free, fast,
and easy way to find health services close to where they live. A new
Web site, "Go Local North Dakota: Discover Health Services NearYou!"
(www.medlineplus.gov/golocalnd <http://www.medlineplus.gov/golocalnd>),
provides information and links to hospitals, doctors, clinics, support
groups, immunizations, home healthcare, and other programs and services
people can use to find help for themselves and their loved ones.

The "Go Local North Dakota" site was created by medical library
personnel at the University of North Dakota (UND) School of Medicine
and Health Sciences with funds from the National Institutes of Health's
National Library of Medicine.

The site will help North Dakotans find relevant answers to many health
care questions: Where can I find a physical therapist? Is there an
adult daycare center in my area? Are there support groups for diabetic
patients? Where can I get a flu shot? Do the Three Affiliated Tribes
have a dialysis unit on the reservation? These are examples of
questions that can be answered by searching the Web site, which is easy
to use. People can search for resources by county, by types of service
they want, or by a particular health topic. Services available on North
Dakota's Indian reservations are available as well as services for
those living in the most rural areas of the state. Senior citizens
needing health services will also find assistance through "Go Local
North Dakota." The Web site also contains a form for users to suggest
new resources to add to the Go Local database.

"Go Local North Dakota" offers additional information and convenience
because it is connected to MedlinePlus.gov, which is the health Web
site of the the National Library of Medicine. If, for example, someone
using "Go Local North Dakota" wants to learn about Alzheimer's Disease,
they can click on "Health Information" and be taken to MedlinePlus.gov.
Or someone reading about Alzheimer's disease on MedlinePlus.gov can
link to "Go Local North Dakota" to find Alzheimer's resources close to
home.

"The 50-plus population is moving quickly towards using the Internet to
access information they need. That's why AARP North Dakota encourages
its members to check out the 'Go Local North Dakota' website when
searching for health resources in their communities," says Marlowe Kro,

associate state director for community outreach, AARP North Dakota.

"Go Local North Dakota" is produced by the Harley E. French Library of
the Health Sciences at the University of North Dakota School of
Medicine and Health Sciences and is funded with federal funds from the
National Library of Medicine, http://www.nlm.nih.gov/ National
Institutes of Health, under Contract No. NO1-LM-6-3503 with the
University of Illinois at Chicago, Greater Midwest Region Office
http://nnlm.gov/gmr/ of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/network.html .

The site was unveiled today (Sept. 26) at the annual meeting of the
North Dakota Library Association in Bismarck.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
