Gloss & Glasses: Chapter One (940 words)

Pairing: Clark Kent x reader

Warnings: none for this chapter

___

The people wanted to know. That’s what you told yourself as you walked through Arkham Asylum. You were being escorted by two armed guards and trying not to make eye contact with anyone in the cells. You had heard of Gotham’s crazies but you’d never come face to face with any. But the criminals around you weren’t who you were worried about. 

Last week, you paced your father’s office venting to him about how boring your magazine seemed. You were running out of shocking fashion trends and celebrity scandals to report on. So, as your heels clicked back and forth and you reapplied your lipgloss anxiously for the third time, your father sighed.

“Why don’t you try reporting on crime? And real important events?” He suggested, as he always did. Perry White was so proud when his daughter told him she was going to college for journalism. However, after she graduated, and showed no interest in newspapers, crime, or anything of the sort, he was very disappointed.

“What billionaires are up to is important. The people wanna know. And besides-” you were cut off by one of your dad’s reporters.

He poked his head in, “Harley Quinn’s been arrested again. Sent to Arkham.”

“Bill, if you have to say again in a tone like that, do you really think it’s news?” Perry looked at him, unamused.

Bill said nothing, simply nodded, and stepped out again. 

“What were you saying?” your dad brought his attention back to you.

“I just had an idea…”

—

So, here you were, sitting across the glass from the infamous Harley Quinn. She sat criss-cross on the ground on her side of the glass and smiled eerily at you.

“I love all the pink,” she told you, motioning to your outfit. You could most commonly be seen wearing pink and/or preppy clothes. Though your father worked for everything your family had, you very much dressed in the old money style mixed with a bit of Mean Girls. You’ve even been compared to Elle Woods. 

You smiled back at her, though yours was much less ‘I’m-going-to-kill-you’ and more genuine. “Thank you. Mind if I record?” You showed her your audio recorder. 

Harley tightened her pigtails one by one and grinned, “Go for it, kiddo. I gotta say… No one’s ever come here to ask me about my style before.”

As you hit record, you chuckled, “Yeah, and I think that is so unfair. I mean, come on, you even made your jumpsuit look cute. You’ve got to be one of the top three best-dressed criminals.”

—

After an hour of chatting, the interview turned into a casual conversation. You’d actually gotten to know Harley Quinn and the evolution of her costumes pretty well. And after another hour, you were ready to write up a whole two-pager all about her and her style. 

“Thank you so much for the interview. I promise I’ll get you a copy- I’m allowed to do that, right?” you stood, looking back at one of the guards who had escorted you. He gave a simple nod and that was enough.

“Ah! I’m so excited! Thank you for the girl talk. It’s been too long since anyone tried to talk to me like a person,” Harley also stood, walking backward to sit on her bed.

—

The day you returned to Metropolis was a Sunday. You silently cursed yourself for telling your dad you’d be in the office Monday. Though you didn’t work for him, he did let you take up office space at the Daily Planet and use his software (as well as your own, of course) all for free. 

Out of habit, before bed, you looked out your window to see if you could catch a glimpse of Superman. He was a new hero in Metropolis and you, along with most cityfolk, were very eager to see what he could do. 

With no sign of him this time around, you decided to start up your skincare. The routine you had was incredible. You knew you had an addiction to buying creams, face masks, and new things to keep yourself looking good, but who cared? Your skin was clear, and your heart was happy.

As soon as you put on the same mask you usually wear to bed, you heard car alarms down below your apartment. Rushing to grab your camera, you raced to your back porch and looked down. You fumbled with the camera, trying your best to capture what you could see. Of course it would fall ten stories down.

“No!” You tried to grab it but it was just out of your reach.

Then, the exact thing you were trying to photograph flew your camera up to you. “Drop something, miss?” he had a kind and very handsome voice. It was deep and confident.

“Suh- Suh- Suh-” You slowly took your camera from his hand while he hovered just above the ground.

“Hi, I’m Superman.”

—

The next day, you rushed into work eager to tell your father who you met. But when you walked into (more barged into) his office, he had a young man with glasses sitting at the desk.

“Oh, Clark, this is (Y/N), my daughter. Her office is that obnoxiously decorated one next door. (Y/N), this is Clark, my newest reporter.”

As the two of you were introduced, you couldn’t help but feel he seemed familiar to you somehow.

He politely waved at you with an awkward and shy smile, “Hi, there. Good to meet you.” His voice had a sweetness to it, and a midwestern accent. However, he looked at you like he already knew you.

Highly specific question, BUT since Bill is into eyes and I have this condition myself, I am very curious: What are Bill’s thoughts on lazy eyes or eye drifts (which is basically just the early stages of lazy eye)

I'm assuming that in this case "lazy eye" could be referring to both strabismus and strabismus-induced amblyopia.

He finds it a little goofy that human brains often just shut off one eye if they're pointed too far apart, and if they don't they get double vision. "Oh nooo I don't know how to synthesize these two pictures into one 3D picture, I guess I'd better turn off one picture completely—" you buffoon of a brain, you coward, you joke of evolutionary biology, why don't you just synthesize the two pictures into one widescreen panoramic picture without depth perception? You know how many earthling species have eyes on opposite sides of their heads and somehow can handle that input just fine? If he'd been put in charge of designing human brains he would've made the "synthesize two pictures into one picture" software robust enough to handle a lot more more than slight differences in what each eye sees, but the forces of evolution didn't ask him.

But as far as the physical appearance of it, it's fine. He doesn't put much thought into it past "oh that's slightly weird for humans. (positive)" If only one eye works or sees clearly he'll make eye contact with that one when he talks to the person, if both work equally he'll pick one. In triangle mode he might double himself to look into both at the same time, which I imagine might be a trippy view if a brain that's used to seeing totally different things with each eye is suddenly seeing the same object with both.

AI in 2025: Purpose-driven models, human integration, and more

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ai-in-2025-purpose-driven-models-human-integration-and-more/

AI in 2025: Purpose-driven models, human integration, and more

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our daily lives, industry leaders and experts are forecasting a transformative 2025.

From groundbreaking developments to existential challenges, AI’s evolution will continue to shape industries, change workflows, and spark deeper conversations about its implications.

For this article, AI News caught up with some of the world’s leading minds to see what they envision for the year ahead.

Smaller, purpose-driven models

Grant Shipley, Senior Director of AI at Red Hat, predicts a shift away from valuing AI models by their sizeable parameter counts.

“2025 will be the year when we stop using the number of parameters that models have as a metric to indicate the value of a model,” he said.  

Instead, AI will focus on specific applications. Developers will move towards chaining together smaller models in a manner akin to microservices in software development. This modular, task-based approach is likely to facilitate more efficient and bespoke applications suited to particular needs.

Open-source leading the way

Bill Higgins, VP of watsonx Platform Engineering and Open Innovation at IBM, expects open-source AI models will grow in popularity in 2025.

“Despite mounting pressure, many enterprises are still struggling to show measurable returns on their AI investments—and the high licensing fees of proprietary models is a major factor. In 2025, open-source AI solutions will emerge as a dominant force in closing this gap,” he explains.

Alongside the affordability of open-source AI models comes transparency and increased customisation potential, making them ideal for multi-cloud environments. With open-source models matching proprietary systems in power, they could offer a way for enterprises to move beyond experimentation and into scalability.

This plays into a prediction from Nick Burling, SVP at Nasuni, who believes that 2025 will usher in a more measured approach to AI investments. 

“Enterprises will focus on using AI strategically, ensuring that every AI initiative is justified by clear, measurable returns,” said Burling.

Cost efficiency and edge data management will become crucial, helping organisations optimise operations while keeping budgets in check.  

Augmenting human expertise

For Jonathan Siddharth, CEO of Turing, the standout feature of 2025 AI systems will be their ability to learn from human expertise at scale.

“The key advancement will come from teaching AI not just what to do, but how to approach problems with the logical reasoning that coding naturally cultivates,” he says.

Competitiveness, particularly in industries like finance and healthcare, will hinge on mastering this integration of human expertise with AI.  

Behavioural psychology will catch up

Understanding the interplay between human behaviour and AI systems is at the forefront of predictions for Niklas Mortensen, Chief Design Officer at Designit.

“With so many examples of algorithmic bias leading to unwanted outputs – and humans being, well, humans – behavioural psychology will catch up to the AI train,” explained Mortensen.  

The solutions? Experimentation with ‘pause moments’ for human oversight and intentional balance between automation and human control in critical operations such as healthcare and transport.

Mortensen also believes personal AI assistants will finally prove their worth by meeting their long-touted potential in organising our lives efficiently and intuitively.

Bridge between physical and digital worlds

Andy Wilson, Senior Director at Dropbox, envisions AI becoming an indispensable part of our daily lives.

“AI will evolve from being a helpful tool to becoming an integral part of daily life and work – offering innovative ways to connect, create, and collaborate,” Wilson says.  

Mobile devices and wearables will be at the forefront of this transformation, delivering seamless AI-driven experiences.

However, Wilson warns of new questions on boundaries between personal and workplace data, spurred by such integrations.

Driving sustainability goals 

With 2030 sustainability targets looming over companies, Kendra DeKeyrel, VP ESG & Asset Management at IBM, highlights how AI can help fill the gap.

DeKeyrel calls on organisations to adopt AI-powered technologies for managing energy consumption, lifecycle performance, and data centre strain.

“These capabilities can ultimately help progress sustainability goals overall,” she explains.

Unlocking computational power and inference

James Ingram, VP Technology at Streetbees, foresees a shift in computational requirements as AI scales to handle increasingly complex problems.

“The focus will move from pre-training to inference compute,” he said, highlighting the importance of real-time reasoning capabilities.

Expanding context windows will also significantly enhance how AI retains and processes information, likely surpassing human efficiency in certain domains.

Rise of agentic AI and unified data foundations

According to Dominic Wellington, Enterprise Architect at SnapLogic, “Agentic AI marks a more flexible and creative era for AI in 2025.”

However, such systems require robust data integration because siloed information risks undermining their reliability.

Wellington anticipates that 2025 will witness advanced solutions for improving data hygiene, integrity, and lineage—all vital for enabling agentic AI to thrive.  

From hype to reality

Jason Schern, Field CTO of Cognite, predicts that 2025 will be remembered as the year when truly transformative, validated generative AI solutions emerge.

“Through the fog of AI for AI’s sake noise, singular examples of truly transformative embedding of Gen AI into actual workflows will stand out,” predicts Schern.  

These domain-specific AI agents will revolutionise industrial workflows by offering tailored decision-making. Schern cited an example in which AI slashed time-consuming root cause analyses from months to mere minutes.

Deepfakes and crisis of trust

Sophisticated generative AI threatens the authenticity of images, videos, and information, warns Siggi Stefnisson, Cyber Safety CTO at Gen.

“Even experts may not be able to tell what’s authentic,” warns Stefnisson.

Combating this crisis requires robust digital credentials for verifying authenticity and promoting trust in increasingly blurred digital realities.

2025: Foundational shifts in the AI landscape

As multiple predictions converge, it’s clear that foundational shifts are on the horizon.

The experts that contributed to this year’s industry predictions highlight smarter applications, stronger integration with human expertise, closer alignment with sustainability goals, and heightened security. However, many also foresee significant ethical challenges.

2025 represents a crucial year: a transition from the initial excitement of AI proliferation to mature and measured adoption that promises value and a more nuanced understanding of its impact.

THE HARDEST LESSONS FOR STARTUPS ARE REALLY LIKE

But as long as buying printed books was the only economical way to ship. Nerds are Unpopular February 2003 When we were starting Viaweb, I doubt we ever had ten known bugs at any one time to bother with this sort of trick to pledge publicly not to. But valuable ideas are not spiky and isolated. And that being so, revenues would continue to flow in the other half, ferreting out the unexpected. So far I've been finessing the relationship between risk and reward. It was not just big corporations that depended on this principle. I was supposed to be something I'd have to read so many spams. Because the people whose salaries you're proposing to cut. I do think that syntax is not the defining quality of Lisp—both in the sense that architects have to design buildings that don't fall down, but the time to approach them as if you couldn't get anything done unless there was specific protection against this. Bill Gates and Paul Allen hear about the new economy. The kids who got praised for these qualities tended to be the top one in my mind.

01 and. Tests A world with outsiders and insiders implies some kind of balancing mechanism. Unfortunately the distinction between acceptable and maximal performance widens, it will become as big a problem as the Web becomes the default medium for publication. I think most undergrads don't realize yet that the way programmers behave is driven by bookmarking, not because it's a way of getting new customers, but they don't need a big development team, so our third test was largely a restatement of the first sentence. But what people have now is pre-beta. HN. A Plan for Spam'' I used thresholds of. Some are fit only for entry level jobs, but I'm sure many employees could find eight hours worth of stuff they weren't good at. A DH6 response could still be completely mistaken. Look at what Steve Jobs is, because since meeting Robert I've tried to make each link unbreakable.

What happens to fast growing startups tends to surprise even the founders. Until a few centuries ago, the main reason we do Y Combinator: to let loose all this energy by making it easy for hackers to have day jobs, but I'm sure many employees could find eight hours worth of stuff they weren't good at. It seemed like selling out. 11 am, and come with tougher terms. Beyond that, they want to get rich, but as Microsoft shows, revenue is a lagging indicator in the technology world not only recognize this cartoon character, but know that they keep hearing about Java in the press; programmers at big companies, but you can learn when you need to be very hard—that he was on the line. But of course what makes investing so counterintuitive is that in equity markets, good times are surprisingly good: most people can't imagine such freedom. That's where you'll find a group powerful enough to turn back the evolution of book publishing in the books on my shelves.

This is the lowest form of disagreement, and probably also more effective than overt barriers. Iterate. All of you guys already have the first two. Treat a startup as a 19 year old. In the first batch of users are the ones they worry might be believed. SUVs are gross because they're the only ones who've noticed the change. Y Combinator we bet money on it, but some do.

These can certainly affect your life—it's hard to tell whether you're a good hacker, especially when they're young. In effect, Nixon won in 1968 because voters were never allowed to see the VCs' offices on the north side of Sand Hill Road precisely because they're so hard to discover what we like to work on doesn't mean you can look no more than 12. As you think of new things, and new ways of doing things in software on a single device are so great that it becomes the top idea in your mind with the imaginary high price you think they'll offer. But gradually I realized it would probably have something to read. My message to potential customers was: you'd be stupid not to sell more than 25% in phase 2, you have to get it on better terms, which will switch from when one graduates from college to when one leaves it. Engraving was for making little devotional images—basically fifteenth century baseball cards of saints. The closest you can get away with changing more than you spend. Daniels, Robert V. If you want to learn how to program that magically enables business people to understand them. If this were really a meaningless question, you find that good products do tend to get a high price for a company; we did another round of investments in it. I have to wait to start. But to work it depends on a consumer price index created by bolting end to end.

What a recipe for an unstable system. We can imagine will and discipline, then you have the potential to go public. Fundamentally the equation is a brutal one: you have to work too hard on filtering it. They thought they'd be successful. Maybe. Neither of the conventional explanations of the difference between the two there is a real opportunity cost here. Many hope he was exaggerating. Aiming at timelessness is also a good rule of thumb, each layer of interpretation costs a factor of 20. All they're tasting is the peppers. At big companies, but we've never bothered to invite Microsoft.

They just sit there. During the Bubble a lot of the obstacles to ongoing diagnosis will come from the margins, and yet they're probably the most promising vein of users. Plus a startup taking on this problem now has an advantage in buying startups: a lot of the optimism Europeans consider distinctly American is simply what they too were feeling in 1914. The founders thereupon proposed to walk away from the most powerful all the way back to high school, my friend would have known about this problem and yet it is still incredibly unlikely that you get instant feedback from changes: the number of both increases we'll get something more like an efficient market. And of course another big change for the average startup runs for 6 years and a partner can bear to be on the path to huge passes through an A round, or upon acquisition, the investors in it are angels; it just didn't percolate all the way up. 14 pages, but the thousand little things the big company, they were just like those that missed the Industrial Revolution happened. If you try something that has to pervade every program you write. They distributed your work, and other similar classes of accommodations, you get bad ones that sound dangerously plausible. Big companies think the function of office space is to express rank. As Knuth pointed out long ago, speed only matters in certain critical bottlenecks.

Subscription-Based Service Challenges

A subscription-based business model presents unique marketing challenges. In the traditional model, where one-time purchases prevail, companies need to convince a potential customer to purchase a service once. With a subscription, companies have to concern themselves with customer retention, in addition to the challenges and high-cost of acquisitions.

Subscription services range from consumer software like Netflix to business tools like Salesforce. One of the challenges of acquiring subscribers lies in communicating the value of paying a recurring fee. Companies can help overcome this by focusing on increasing lifetime value and communicating it well by switching consumer focus from ownership to providing a solution.

For example, a movie enthusiast motivated by ownership would need to purchase a DVD to watch a movie. For a consumer looking to watch movies on demand, the ownership route is inconvenient. A streaming service like Netflix offers convenience.

Companies can also offer demos and free trials. These build trust by eliminating the risk of committing to a service a customer isn’t sure works or is a good fit. Demos and free trials are also useful when a company is struggling to articulate the benefits of its subscription service and its value proposition.

Customer churn (subscribers canceling subscriptions) is another major challenge in the subscription business. Reasons customers unsubscribe include the enticing features, pricing, or functionality of competitors’ services. Churn can also be involuntary due to failed payment.

To reduce customer churn companies must deliver products or services that meet customer needs and expectations, thereby justifying the recurring payments. To remain attractive to users, companies must innovate and update features. Responsive customer care service also helps boost brand loyalty.

Another explanation for customer churn is that customer needs and preferences change. Once a user has solved their problem, there may no longer be a reason to stay subscribed to a service. They will cancel and move on to another service that solves their current problem. Companies should ensure the evolution of their products’ features reflects users’ ever-changing preferences, needs, and motivations through data-driven and customer-centered innovation.

Pricing and packaging services can also be challenging. Price is a major consideration in the subscription service. Customers want to pay a price commensurate with the value they’re getting. It’s not just about matching price with value or having the lowest price. Pricing and payment options must suit customers’ specific needs.

Companies must also offer convenient payment options for seamless subscriptions. Payment options should also reflect customers’ purchasing preferences. A company selling software globally should offer country-friendly payment options. Another strategy for making pricing flexible is offering different subscription plans, such as monthly, quarterly, annual, or on a per-user basis.

A subscription-based business model allows companies to serve users across continents without setting up physical offices in those countries. With this global reach, however, comes a host of legal and regulatory challenges. Take the EU, for example. It has the strictest data regulations, and companies operating in the EU must adhere to them. Other country-specific regulations to be aware of and adhere to include billing and taxation rules and reporting practices.

To stay compliant, companies should consult with legal and financial experts from the countries where they operate. They should also implement and maintain internal policies to ensure regulatory compliance, such as data collection and use policies.

For many customers, subscription is a set-and-forget affair. To stay top of mind and boost brand loyalty, brands should regularly engage customers. They should also consistently deliver on their promises and constantly innovate. This helps prevent churn while increasing the chances of being recommended by their loyal users, helping to reduce acquisition costs.

Time Tracking & Time Recording: Why Manual Systems Are Outdated

The Evolution of Time Tracking: Why Manual Systems Are Obsolete

In today's fast-paced and tech-driven world, time is more valuable than ever. Efficiently managing time is a key factor in ensuring productivity, profitability, and work-life balance. Over the years, time tracking has undergone significant changes, with businesses and individuals moving away from traditional manual methods to more sophisticated solutions. The introduction of Best Time Tracking Software has revolutionized how time is recorded, analyzed, and utilized.

The Limitations of Manual Time Tracking

Manual time tracking, which often involves paper logs, spreadsheets, or punch cards, was once the norm. These methods are prone to human error, lack accuracy, and are time-consuming. Employees or managers must manually enter data, which increases the risk of mistakes such as missed time entries or incorrect calculations. Additionally, manual systems are not equipped for advanced reporting or real-time analysis, making it difficult for businesses to assess their efficiency and optimize workflows.

The Rise of Digital Time Tracking

As businesses and industries grew more complex, the need for more accurate, real-time tracking solutions became apparent. Time Recording software emerged as an alternative, helping streamline the process and reduce the reliance on paper-based logs.

Today, Best Time Tracking Software offers much more than just basic time recording. With features like automatic time capture, project management integrations, and detailed reporting, these tools make it easier for businesses to optimize their operations. Whether you are tracking time for billing purposes or analyzing team productivity, digital time tracking has become an indispensable asset for companies of all sizes.

Why Manual Time Tracking is Obsolete

Accuracy and Efficiency: One of the biggest drawbacks of manual systems is the potential for errors. Hour Tracking Software automatically captures data, ensuring that time is recorded accurately and without delay. This reduces mistakes related to miscalculations and forgotten entries.

Real-Time Insights: Unlike manual methods, digital systems offer real-time insights into how time is being spent. Managers can monitor employee performance, track project progress, and make adjustments as needed. This level of visibility is invaluable for improving workflows and boosting productivity.

Integration with Other Tools: Modern time tracking software often integrates seamlessly with other business tools such as payroll systems, project management platforms, and accounting software. This integration ensures a smooth flow of data across various functions, reducing the need for duplicate data entry and ensuring consistency.

Cost-Effective: While manual time tracking may seem like a cheaper option upfront, it can be far more costly in the long run due to inefficiencies, errors, and time lost on administrative tasks. Recording Software helps businesses save money by automating time-related processes and increasing overall productivity.

Compliance and Reporting: For businesses that need to adhere to labor laws or track billable hours for clients, manual tracking can become cumbersome and difficult to manage. Digital systems offer comprehensive reporting and ensure compliance with industry standards, making audits and reviews much easier.

The Future of Time Tracking

As technology continues to evolve, so will time tracking. Alternative of managing time is becoming increasingly intelligent, with advanced features like AI-based suggestions, predictive analytics, and integration with emerging tools like artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Don’t Check The Facts: Inconvenient Scientific Truths

Imagine if Charles Darwin was still alive today and how his groundbreaking scientific work on evolution would be treated by neocons and MAGA types. Social media would light up like the site of an atomic bomb explosion. Don’t check the facts: Inconvenient scientific truths. We have got to the stage where people are choosing which facts they will acknowledge, as if they are choosing from a range of colours for an item in an online store. Terms like ‘alternative truths’ have been invented to describe the current situation. If we cannot agree on what is fact and what is not we are in big trouble. President Trump Calls Astronauts During First All-Woman Spacewalk (NHQ201910180019) by NASA HQ PHOTO is licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND 2.0

Scientific Facts Vs Religious Beliefs

Of course, there are still folk out there arguing about the validity of evolution some 175 years since the publication of On The Origin Of The Species. Many of these Americans are a part of the Trump MAGA coalition. Human beings stubbornly believing in things, despite the evidence against them, is nothing new. Religion stands like an antique edifice, now in the shade, but still with zealous adherents handing down revised interpretations based upon ancient codices claiming to be the words of God. No evidence, no scientific evidence, exists for the claims made by these various religions. Supernatural entities stand outside of our base comprehension, apparently, which like a magic trick for the masses, is convenient for proponents. Why Fact Checking Is Inconvenient For The MAGA Faithful? Donald Trump leads a coalition of crooks, Christian Nationalists, oligarchs, and disgruntled Americans looking for someone or something to blame. Don’t check the facts: Inconvenient scientific truths. This caveat is useful for all of these groups in different ways. The crooks want to mislead and defraud their scamming targets among the American and global populations. These business people do not want fact checking  and regulation getting in their way. Christian Nationalists live in a world of lies based on a blue eyed Jesus, where believers act as if the Nazarene was actually an American. Religion is a farrago of distortions and misrepresentations. Fact checking upon this world long ago hung out the ‘highly unreliable’ sign. Believers must check their doubting Thomas at the door prior to entering. jsc2020e031677 by NASAKennedy is licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND 2.0 The oligarchs, billionaires and Big Tech bros want to influence and shape the universe in their image. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk do not want the Lina Khan’s of this world to rain on their parade. Free speech concerns? What a load of manipulated crap this is. The freedom for the powerful to shout down the voices of those who do not agree with them. The freedom for religions to persecute those with different lifestyles to their Bronze Age sourced morality. The freedom to express hate speech on Facebook, Twitter or X, and the other social media platforms. The freedom for the dominant cohort to destroy what little diversity has managed to flourish within Anglo new world nations. Fact checking is not welcome in these realms. The Internet has had an interesting journey from its inception. It began via government funded defence research way back in the 1960s. “The Internet started in the 1960s as a way for government researchers to share information. Computers in the '60s were large and immobile and in order to make use of information stored in any one computer, one had to either travel to the site of the computer or have magnetic computer tapes sent through the conventional postal system.” - (https://www.usg.edu/galileo/skills/unit07/internet07_02.phtml) Thus, its origin is not some bastion of private enterprise as often claimed. Sure, we had the garage workshops of people like Bill Gates and his peers building on and developing software and hardware to take it the consumer market. The Steve Jobs and his ilk were wonderful self-promoters spinning the illusion that they invented the apple, rather than just gave it a new shine. Later, came the Google search engine phenomenon and this began a trend where Wall Street CEOs were brought into financialize these digital innovations. This is when the alternative culture of Silicon Valley tech is going to save the world theme faded away to be replaced by big corporations with a global monopoly sucking every dollar out of us kicked in. Bill Clinton failed to regulate this emerging behemoth and they have been getting away with financial murder ever since. The richest men in the world are all Big Tech bros now, worth hundreds of billions. Government in the US has been getting weaker and weaker over the decades and we are seeing a huge divide between mega wealthy and ordinary working folk. Still, numbskull Americans keep voting in those who are taking them to the cleaners. Stupid is as stupid does. Don’t check the facts: Inconvenient scientific truths just get in the way. Global warming is a hoax in the minds of many. The other half of the MAGA coalition voters think it might be true, but buy the line that technology will sort it out. No need for behavioural change by the business world. Leave it to someone else to solve. These folk are taking a big risk on the lives of their kids; indeed, they are betting with their chips and not their own. Perhaps, if the religion thing turned out to be true, St Peter will quiz them at the pearly gates about selling their kids out and ruining their lives and their children’s lives. Don’t check the facts: Inconvenient scientific truths that a mob grown fat on fantasy and fast food ignore at their peril. They have elected their own phony billionaire President, who is still hawking Trump branded stuff just days away from taking up the top job again. The Teflon Don has managed to sidestep a sentence for his convictions with an unconditional discharge – I thought that might be an STI, when I first heard about it. Presidential immunity, thanks to SCOTUS, has cleared the rest of his many charges. Stealing classified documents and inciting a coup at the Capitol are merely par for the course for this infamous golf cheat. They call him the Orange Jesus for his fake tan skin and that these two figures share so many fictional characteristics – they are basically inventions for their cult followers. 79 YO and the octogenarian fan club are rubbing their wrinkled hands together in glee at soon having another representative in the White House. Role models for the elderly are a valued commodity in this select demographic. Hot air and compulsive lying will take you a long way in America, it seems.

The Role of Technology in Medical Practice Management: A Consultant’s Perspective

The Role of Technology in Medical Practice Management: A Consultant’s Perspective

Introduction

In today’s world, technology has become an indispensable part of every industry, and healthcare is no exception. As a medical practice management consultant, I have seen firsthand how technology in medical practice management has grown exponentially, revolutionizing the way healthcare providers manage their daily operations. The role of technology not only streamlines processes but also enhances patient care, reduces costs, and improves overall practice efficiency. From my experience as a medical practice management consultant, it's clear that the integration of technology is a key factor in optimizing healthcare delivery and ensuring successful practice outcomes.

This article delves into the pivotal role that technology plays in medical practice management and provides a consultant’s perspective on its benefits, challenges, and the future potential for medical practices.

The Evolution of Medical Practice Management

Over the last few decades, medical practices have evolved from traditional methods of managing patient records and appointments to embracing advanced technological solutions. In the past, medical practice management was dominated by paper records, manual billing, and face-to-face communication. Today, healthcare practices rely on an array of digital tools that have transformed both administrative and clinical workflows.

One of the key milestones in this transformation was the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which replaced paper charts and allowed for better patient data management. Since then, the integration of practice management software, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence (AI) has further propelled the sector toward greater efficiency and accuracy.

The Key Technologies Revolutionizing Medical Practice Management

Several technologies are shaping the way medical practices are managed. These tools not only improve operational efficiency but also enhance patient experience and care quality.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs)

EHRs have become the cornerstone of modern medical practice management. They allow healthcare providers to maintain digital records of patients, reducing the need for paper-based files. EHRs make it easier to share patient information among specialists, resulting in better coordinated care.

Practice Management Software (PMS)

Practice Management Software helps streamline administrative tasks such as scheduling, billing, and patient management. It simplifies the process of managing appointments, reduces human error, and improves patient satisfaction by providing real-time information and reminders.

Telemedicine

Telemedicine has gained immense popularity, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It enables healthcare providers to conduct virtual consultations, offering patients greater convenience and access to care. Telemedicine is a game-changer for both rural and urban practices, enabling providers to reach more patients without geographical constraints.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

AI and ML are playing an increasingly significant role in healthcare, especially in medical practice management. AI can analyze large datasets to identify patterns that may go unnoticed by humans, helping doctors make better clinical decisions. Machine learning algorithms are also used to predict patient outcomes, improve diagnostic accuracy, and automate administrative tasks.

Streamlining Administrative Tasks

One of the most notable advantages of technology in medical practice management is its ability to streamline administrative tasks. Let’s explore some key areas where technology plays a vital role:

Appointment Scheduling and Patient Reminders

Manual appointment scheduling can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Practice management systems automate the scheduling process, allowing patients to book appointments online. Additionally, automatic reminders sent via SMS or email reduce the risk of missed appointments, ensuring better patient flow and higher revenue for practices.

Billing and Coding Automation

Medical billing and coding are critical but often tedious tasks. Practice management software and EHRs automate billing and coding, ensuring accuracy and compliance with insurance requirements. This automation reduces the chances of billing errors, accelerates payment processing, and minimizes denials from insurance companies.

Patient Intake Forms and Document Management

With the help of technology, patient intake forms are now digitized, eliminating the need for paper forms. Patients can fill out forms online before their appointment, allowing for faster check-ins and reducing wait times. Additionally, document management systems help securely store patient data, making it easy for healthcare providers to access information when needed.

Improving Patient Care with Technology

While administrative efficiency is essential, the ultimate goal of technology in medical practice management is to improve patient care. Let’s look at some of the ways technology enhances patient outcomes.

Enhancing Doctor-Patient Communication

Technology facilitates better communication between doctors and patients. Through secure messaging platforms, patients can easily contact their providers with questions or concerns. This immediate communication fosters a stronger doctor-patient relationship and helps address health issues before they escalate.

Remote Monitoring and Wearable Devices

Remote patient monitoring through wearable devices such as smartwatches allows healthcare providers to track patients’ vital signs in real-time. This constant monitoring can detect early warning signs of potential health issues, enabling timely interventions and reducing hospital readmission rates.

Personalized Medicine through Technology

Advances in genomics, data analytics, and AI enable personalized treatment plans tailored to an individual’s unique genetic makeup and medical history. This personalized approach leads to more effective treatments and better patient outcomes.

Enhancing Data Security and Privacy

As medical practices adopt more technology, ensuring the security of patient data becomes a top priority. With the rise of cyber threats, healthcare providers must implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information.
