Dartmouth Hitchcock Goes Live
With InterSystems’ CACHÉ 5 Database
Implementation Latest Success in Long-Term IT Strategy
Access to Object Technology, CACHÉ Web Capabilities Drive New
Implementation
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—February 23, 2004—InterSystems Corporation today
announced that Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) has implemented
a revenue cycle solution from IDX Systems Corporation (NASDAQ:IDXC) that
is built on the post-relational CACHÉ database. The implementation, an
upgrade for long-standing IDX customer DHMC to IDX’s next-generation
business performance solution, Flowcast™, went live yesterday. This
highlights a partnership among InterSystems, IDX and DHMC that has
resulted in two decades of successful IT innovation. InterSystems made
the announcement at the HIMSS 2004 conference in Orlando, Fla.
“InterSystems and IDX have helped us reach our care delivery and
business objectives year-in and year-out for more than 20 years,” says
DHMC Senior Vice President and CIO Peter Johnson. “Our history with both
companies is one of continuous improvement that allows us to build on
our early achievements in order to take advantage of new and changing
technologies. We have a long-term, consistent commitment to InterSystems
and IDX, their products and application partners.”
The leading provider of database technology in healthcare, InterSystems
develops and markets the CACHÉ post-relational database. All of the top
10 hospitals in America, as rated by U.S. News and World Report, are
running CACHÉ-based systems.
A comprehensive revenue cycle management system for hospitals,
integrated delivery networks and large physician group practices,
Flowcast is one of a family of healthcare application systems offered by
IDX. “DHMC has made a clear statement of the value they are receiving
from our close working partnership with InterSystems,” says IDX
President and COO Tom Butts. “Our joint commitment to deliver optimal
healthcare solutions worldwide continues to provide a foundation for
corporate growth and customer success.”
Object Development Capabilities, Web Functionality Drive Implementation
Located in Lebanon, N.H., DHMC is an integrated academic medical center
that comprises Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock
Clinic (a network of more than 900 primary and specialty care physicians
located throughout New Hampshire and Vermont), Dartmouth Medical School
and the VA Medical and Regional Office Center in White River Junction,
Vt.
DHMC is a healthcare leader in leveraging information technology to cut
costs and improve care delivery—a position acknowledged most recently
when it was named one of the nation’s “Most Wired” medical centers,
according to a 2003 survey published in Hospitals & Health Networks. The
decision to move to CACHÉ 5-based Flowcast was a logical result of that
positioning, according to Johnson.
“We’ve seen object-oriented development taking off in the last few
years, and that’s the direction we’re taking,” Johnson says. “CACHÉ 5
offers advanced object capabilities, as well as rapid development of
high-performance Web applications.” For example, CACHÉ 5 eliminates any
need for developer-defined mapping of XML to internal database
structures, enabling faster application development.
“Our solution from IDX makes full use of the rich feature set in CACHÉ
5,” notes Johnson. “It offers improved underlying capabilities,
accessibility via the Web and enhanced ability to interoperate with
disparate systems,” he says. Interoperability is critical in the DHMC
environment, which includes a wide variety of applications running on a
network that includes more than 6,000 PCs in 75 sites across New
Hampshire and Vermont.
“DHMC will also be using CACHÉ 5 for in-house application development,”
Johnson says. Functionality such as transactional bit-map indexing,
which provides the query performance advantages of advanced indexing
technology with update performance equal to that of traditional indexes,
will be fully exploited in systems such as the DHMC operating room
management system, which is scheduled for a rewrite.
“We’ve worked closely with DHMC to help them fully utilize CACHÉ
functionality,” says InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning
Paul Grabscheid. “It’s a pleasure to help them implement their vision of
delivering high-quality care in the most cost-effective way possible.”

Subject: ServDoc-1.0rc1 released
Hi!
I've released ServDoc-1.0rc1 on http://servdoc.sourceforge.net.
ServDoc is a System Documentation Utility to describe your whole
system (with most of the installed software) automatically without the
need to configure anything.
With ServDoc you can document (with just one command: no installation,
no configuration!):
- AIX, HP/UX, Solaris, Linux, Darwin
- your network configuration
- Your system hardware
- Oracle, UDB and postgres databases
- sendmail, bind, apache, exim
- your cronjobs
The output can be html, ascii or latex.
ServDoc is multilingual (for now: English and German)
ServDoc is perl based. You need just a perl interpreter on your
system. No extra libraries required.
Changes since version 0.9:
- exim module added (Bas Couwenberg)
- postgres module added (Bas Couwenberg)
- ServDoc is now multilingual (for now: English and German)
- The module output format is changed from single-line-field-separated
to XML

Subject: SECURITY: NSA Security-enhanced Linux updated
From: Howard Holm <hdholm@epoch.ncsc.mil>
The SELinux web site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> including the mail
list archive has been updated. The base kernel versions have been
updated to 2.4.24 and 2.6.3. The 2.6.3 kernel patches include
significant enhancements including port-based controls, mount context
options, and conditional policy extensions. libselinux now includes
code for a userspace AVC and discovers the selinuxfx mount point at
runtime. Many other updates and bugfixes have been applied.
Security-enhanced Linux incorporates a strong, flexible mandatory
access control architecture into the major subsystems of the Linux
kernel. The system provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of
information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements. This
allows threats of tampering and bypassing of application security
mechanisms to be addressed and enables the confinement of damage that
can be caused by malicious or flawed applications. The SELinux web
site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> contains background information,
documentation, source code, and archives for the selinux mailing-list.
