We’re happy to announce to anyone interested in using it, our new eToken assistant site, tok.ee.  For all those, including us, who are stuck carrying around little electronic two-factor authentication tools, this might be a reason to leave them at home.

Please let us know what you think!

As part of our work over the following month, we will be helping to extend WhiteFox to integrate fully into an Integrated Health Environment.

We are honoured to take part in the advancement of such an exciting product and we look forward to making full use of our expertise to help it achieve the prominence it deserves.

Flux Inc. in collaboration with Corcare Inc., a progressive cardiology health network in the Greater Toronto Area, are pleased to announce general availability of Influx, the first truly multi-modality cardiology reporting system available for Xcelera.

Influx is the first cardiology PACS solution, running atop Xcelera, that permits interpretation and reporting of all cardiology modalities from a common interface — finally bringing together Echo, Stress, EKG, Holter, Loop, ABPM, and virtually every other kind of study, including those combined with nuclear modalities.  Influx unique in that it does not require vendor DICOM support from any modality – Influx integrates and DICOM-enables legacy devices, usually without requiring upgrades.

Study Worklist View: Showing a subset of newly added modalities.

Influx incorporates all modalities into a single multi-modality workflow, allowing cardiology clinics to finally free themselves of their immense paper burden and save significant hard costs.  It also automatically captures patient demographics and measurements from modality reports, and populates them within Xcelera for instant review and reporting, saving hours of technologist time per week and significantly reducing entry errors.

Influx reporting enhancements include more than 25 specialized templates and hundreds of test-specific finding codes, improved and re-sized diagrams and auto analysis of wall motion, as well as automatic score calculation (such as the Duke Treadmill Score).

Sample Stress Echo Report: Showing populated measurements and physician interpretation.

In addition to this, Influx optionally provides single-click output from Xcelera to PDF, PACS and many EMRs, saving significant physician time and reducing chance of omissions.  Equally importantly, it includes an On-report Modality Output Viewer, which includes immediate access to moderate resolution previews, an intuitive user-selectable thumbnail list, single-click access to pan and zoom of full scale high resolution images.

On-Report Image Viewer: Example stress echo treadmill output.

Please visit the Influx Web Site to learn more about this new multi-modality cardiology solution.

DICOM Printer 1.7.0

DICOM Printer 1.7.0 is a significant improvement over 1.6.5, offering substantial stability and logging enhancements, a re-styled interface, rock-solid compatibility across Windows versions, as well as a brand new DICOM CD folder creation function.  For a full list of changes, please refer to the release notes during application installation.

DICOM Printer 2.1.6

DICOM Printer 2.1.6 sports a brand-new configuration wizard, allowing quick deployment and management for print to PACS, and print to film applications.  It also includes:

• A secure and Windows 7 compatible user interface plug-in architecture.  This enhancement makes it possible for DP2 to operate in a networked multi-user environment, allowing interfaces to be presented across user sessions from a centrally hosted installation of the utility.
• We have included several important plug-ins, including those allowing instant query of PACS and DICOM Modality Worklist prior to storage or print.
• A new utility called Drop Monitor, which allows PDF, PNG, JPEG, and other image format injection into PACS using a designated watch folder.
• A new log view and tail interface, providing instant feedback of process results.

DICOM Printer 2.1.6 is the result of many months of development, and we’d be thrilled to hear feedback about our users’ impression of the changes.  Please be sure to send us your comments after you have given it a whirr.

Licensed User Upgrades

Upgrades are available for free for those users who purchased their 1.6.5 and 2.1.5 licenses within the last 3 months, and a low-cost upgrade path is available for those who purchased before that time.  Please contact us for further information if you fall into either of these two categories.

Basically, since Leopard 10.5.3 (presumably), Address Book has had built-in functionality to sync with Google Apps and Gmail Contacts.  Incidentally, iCal also now includes CalDAV support and Google has a neat little how-to on the topic.  Anyway, to get Address Book sync running, you’ll first need to get your hands on an iPhone or iPod — just kidding, but iPod/iPhone owners can skip a step in this guide that applies only to those of us not yet riding the thousand-dollar cell phone bandwagon.

Ok, here it goes:

1. While starting, and prior to enabling the new Synchronize with Google feature, Address Book checks whether you’ve previously plugged an iPod or iPhone to your Mac.  Normally this would exclude the functionality for the non-enlightened, but we can fool the check through creation of a simple plist file (iPhone/iPod owners, skip steps 2, 3 and 4).
2. To create the required plist file, you will require PList Edit Pro.
3. Once you have opened PList Edit Pro, create a new project and paste the following text into the file listing (bottom right pane):

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
          "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

   <plist version="1.0">
   <dict>
   	<key>Devices</key>
   	<dict>
   		<key>Red-Herring</key>
   		<dict>
   			<key>Device Class</key>
   			<string>iPod</string>
   			<key>Family ID</key>
   			<integer>10000</integer>
   		</dict>
   	</dict>
   </dict>

   </plist> 

4. Save the file as ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPod.plist
5. Open up iSync and then close it (I don’t know if this is necessary, but do it anyway).
6. Now open Address Book and go into the Preferences — you should now see the “Synchronize with Google” feature!
7. Enjoy.  Contacts get synced with every execution of a sync through iSync.

1. Create a Google Doc (or spreasheet, presentation, whatever).
2. Copy and past the URL of the document (minus the “https:”) into TextPad or Notepad.
3. Make a Writeboard in Basecamp, give it any name.
4. Paste the following text into the writeboard contents and replace the bold text as required:
   <iframe src=”//docs.google.com/a/fluxinc.ca/Doc?docid=asdfkj92399332&hl=en” frameborder=”0″ height=”600″ scrolling=”no” width=”950″></iframe><style type=”text/css”> .Sidebar, .writeboardtitle { display: none; } .col {width: 1024px;}</style>
