If you’re in the market for a new television, chances are you are planning on purchasing an LCD TV. These flat panel televisions have quickly become commonplace in homes, hotel, businesses and virtually every other location you would expect on finding a television monitor. With their decreasing prices and technological improvements, these monitors are becoming a desirable and logical investment.

Like with any other big-ticket purchase, it is important to be informed before you head over to your local electronic retailer to make a purchase. The array of brand, models and features can be quite overwhelming if you do not take the time to consider them all and analyze how they will fit into your needs.

First consider where you are planning on using your new LCD, and how big of a screen your space can withhold. They can either be wall or table mounted depending on the space you have available. If wall mounting the television, avoid placing it over a functioning fireplace as the heat may affect the longevity of the set. Make sure it is up high enough for comfortable viewing from a couch or a bed. When using a table mount, ensure the entire width of the set and the table will fit perfectly into your allotted space with a few inches for ventilation and connection access. Whenever you plan on installing your TV, make sure you can view the image from the sides and not only the prime viewing area. If you find the image begins to fade or becomes hard to view from the sides, it may be difficult for a large group of viewers to enjoy the screen from different parts of the room. You may be able to use a moveable table mount so the screen can be tilted to meet your viewing needs.

Without sufficient brightness the image will look soft, even in a dark room. A brightness rating listed as 550 cd/m2 or high is good, but just make sure the screen is bright enough for your viewing needs in the room. The viewing distance, size of the screen and the natural light in the room will all affect the need for more screen brightness.

Pixel count is another feature you need to take note of when shopping for an LCD TV. Most sets over 23 inches offer at least 720 to 768 pixel resolution, which is the minimum you should look for. Larger screens, especially 40 inches and up, are now offering 1080 pixel resolution which is excellent especially if you are planning on using a Blu-ray Disc player with your set.

LCD TVs now have built-in ATSC tuners, which are required to receive over-the-air TV broadcast signals. Some may also feature a QAM tuner which is required to receive unscrambled HD cable programming without a cable box. A QAM tuner is what is required to receive unscrambled HD-Cable programming without a cable box. Keep in mind your set should include at least one HDMI input to connect HD sources such as cable, Satellite boxes, DVD or Blue-ray players.

The Benefit of Nutritional Data in Personal and Electronic Health Records

nutrition data

In the government’s effort to convert paper health records to an electronic form, the American Dietetic Association has noted there are several benefits to including nutritional data in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Personal Health Records (PHRs). This nutrition-related information recorded on EHRs or PHRs would be an invaluable resource for dietitians who seek to provide preventative health care.

Electronic Health Records vs. Personal Health Records

There is a slight difference between Electronic and Personal Health Records. Electronic Health Records are a patient’s medical records that are maintained and provided by the patient’s health care provider. Personal Health Records are health data such as medication logbooks, daily blood glucose readings and other daily health-related information collected and recorded by the patient. Without access to either of these resources, many patients are currently using web-based tools such as Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault to organize and record their health information in one location.

By including nutritional data in both EHRs and PHRs, the information becomes a key tool that can be utilized by a patient’s registered dietitian to make nutritional assessments. This data can also be used as a preventative approach to treatment by implementing food diaries, exercise logs, weight charts, medication and vitamin logs, while utilizing Nutrition Informatics in their practice.

The Benefits of Nutritional Data

The America Dietetic Association’s Nutrition Informatics Work Group defines Nutrition Informatics as “the effective retrieval, organization, storage, and optimum use of information, data and knowledge for food and nutrition related problem solving and decision making.” Having these records available makes it possible for the registered dietitian to have a more complete, accurate record, eliminating the need to rely on often flawed patient recollection based on memory.

With the recent focus on health information technology (HIT), dietitians have an unprecedented opportunity to use HIT to ensure that Nutritional Informatics, nutrition-related care, counseling and patient education become part of the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009 (ARRA), an economic stimulus package that includes incentive payments to physicians and hospitals for implementing electronic health records.

Government policy makers can be influenced to ensure that both vendors and health care providers provide a component in EHRs and PHRs that record vital nutrition-related data. Registered Dietitians can become involved in ARRA in the following ways:

• As policies are established for the effective use of ARRA funds, registered dietitians can comment on these policies at http://healthit.HHS.gov.

• Apply for grants offered by HITREC Grant Programs.

• Help implement EHRs at work that include nutritional data.

• Request to be included in the group appointed to make decisions regarding the implementation of EHRs at your place of work.

• Direct patients to monitor and improve their health by keeping detailed records of personal nutrition and daily habits utilizing personal health records.
