From Pixel to Production: Bringing Embedded GUIs to Market
Building such graphic displays is a complex issue that requires expertise in many areas. Designers bring stunning graphics and a set of features to product development teams that struggle to accurately translate requirements into precise visuals and behaviors of hardware. A carefully crafted artistic vision for a product is altered or abandoned due to various constraints related to hardware, software, team know-how and deadlines. The end embedded user interface runs slowly and arrives late, frustrating users.

Beautiful branded embedded displays and touch screens are a must-have for everyday devices in the car, in the home or out in the world. These screens offer more than just aesthetics; they enable access to features and functionality that inform and empower users to interact with technology to make their lives better, smarter and simpler.
Building these graphical displays is a complex problem that requires expertise in many areas. Designers hand gorgeous graphics and a series of features to the product development team, who struggle with accurately translating requirements to precise visuals and behaviors on hardware. The carefully crafted artistic vision for the product shifts or is abandoned due to a variety of constraints related to hardware, software, team know-how and deadlines. The final embedded user interface runs slowly, arrives late and is a disappointment to users.

What Are the Key Differentiators Between an EHR and Practice Management Software?
Once upon a time, medical practices had cabinets or shelves full of file folders. Inside the folders were records that contained information about their patients’ health, contacts, insurance coverage, and other aspects of their lives.
Today, some health care practices still use paper records to conduct their business. Some use software, and others use a combination of paper and electronic records.
Since many practices are using or may use technology to help them keep records and manage their practices, it’s useful to explore what electronic health records (EHRs) and practice management software are, what they do, and how practices can combine them.
Have A New EHR System? Why Training Your Staff Is Key
Is your medical practice switching from paper records to electronic health records (EHRs)? Are you switching from one EHR system to another?
EHRs are vital tools that could assist your practice and ultimately, your patients. But adopting one or switching to a new EHR system could be challenging.
That’s why training your staff beforehand is crucial. EHR system training provides many benefits because you could build confidence and reduce fears.
