...test the effectiveness of a sequential intervention reminding patients of their upcoming appointment and to identify the profile of patients missing their appointments. Methods: We conducted a randomised controlled study in an urban primary care clinic at the Geneva University Hospitals serving a majority of vulnerable patients. All patients booked in a primary care or HIV clinic at the Geneva University Hospitals were sent a reminder 48 hrs prior to their appointment according to the following sequential intervention: 1. Phone call (fixed or mobile) reminder; 2. If no phone response: a Short Message Service (SMS) reminder; 3. If no available mobile phone number: a postal reminder. The rate of missed appointment, the cost of the intervention, and the profile of patients missing their appointment were recorded. Results: 2123 patients were included: 1052 in the intervention group, 1071 in the control group. Only 61.7% patients had a mobile phone recorded at the clinic. The sequential intervention significantly reduced the rate of missed appointments: 11.4% (n = 122) in the control group and 7.8% (n = 82) in the intervention group (p < 0.005), and allowed to reallocate 28% of cancelled appointments. It also proved to be cost effective in providing a total net benefit of 1846. - EUR/3 months. A satisfaction survey conducted with 241...

AMS comes in four types. These are Manual, Biometric, Card-based or E-Commerce systems. This paper presents the implementation of an AMS that is based on Bluetooth and NFC technologies in a multi-user environment. It uses fingerprint and the Bluetooth address of the NFC-enabled phone of the user to authenticate the identity of the user. A Java based desktop application receives the NFC tag IDs, other information associated with the mobile phone and the user and submits them to an analyser for the interpretation of the user’s behaviour. Key Terms: - Attendance Management System, Authentication, Biometric, Bluetooth, Mobile Phone, NFC. I. INTRODUCTION Attendance Management System (AMS) is the easiest way to keep track of attendance for community organizations such as school clubs, scouting units, church groups, business...

...of our workplace culture. Some recent statistics regarding text messaging demonstrate how incredibly popular it has become in the last several years: More than 70% of wireless users (or more than 200 million Americans) have an SMS (or “short message service”) package for their mobile device that allows for short text messages to be sent from one device to another. The use of text messaging increased by 107% in 2009. Approximately 2.5 billion text messages are sent each day in the United States. More text messages are now sent via cell phone than calls placed with those same phones. Employers can adopt a policy prohibiting text messaging at work. If text messaging continues, you can discipline employees for violating the policy because, as you note, employees who are texting while at work are not working. Because of the prevalence of text messaging, even if you ban text messaging during work hours, you should put some guidelines in place that address texting in the workplace and require that your employees comply with them. For instance, you should have a policy in place that prevents the sending, receiving, or displaying of messages or images (email, text, or otherwise) on personal mobile devices if those messages or images could be considered harassing, offensive, pornographic, or disruptive to other employees. Your policy should explain that “offensive” content includes anything sexual in nature, as well as anything that might offend someone on the basis of...
