Information technology has a great potential to aid patient care and assist medical research, for a variety of diseases, including leukemia and lymphoma. Smart cards are one of the emerging technologies that helps advance the modern medical care. A combination of patient identification with portable and secure data storage provides up-to-date medical records anywhere at the point of care, helping empower physicians, reduce medical errors, as well as track medical information, procedures, prescriptions and treatment plans. At this Pub Talk, Mr. Kruglyak will discuss the use of smart cards in healthcare, touching upon the related benefits, such as increasing medical efficiency and productivity, as well as HIPAA compliance.

FUND-RAISER PUB FOR THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY

Please join us for a special Pub on August 7th focused on Internet-related technologies and the advancement of cancer research and treatment. The Silicon Valley World Internet Center is hosting this special Pub as a fundraising event to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its mission to find a cure for blood-related cancers (http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org). Dr. Venilde Jeronimo, the Center's former Senior Director of Client Services, is a 2003 summer participant with the Society's Team in Training (TNT) (http://www.teamintraining.org), the world's largest endurance sports training program. TNT participants raise money toward cures for leukemia, the leading disease killer of children; Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the largest group of blood cancers; and myeloma, a nearly incurable cancer that strikes mostly the elderly. Venilde has committed to train to run the Maui Marathon on September 21 and raise $5,000. Venilde is a survivor of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), initially diagnosed in 1984 with a relapse in 1988 and a surgery in 1995. Of the 19 years she has dealt with ALL, she's proud to say that she's been in remission for 8 years and 5 months!

The Center feels strongly that the technology community can play a vital role in supporting advanced research. This Pub is dedicated to that spirit.

All donations are 100% tax deductible and go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Checks (made out to the Society), cash, and credit cards will be accepted day of event.
