		<description><![CDATA[Hi,
   Just curious as to where to locate documentation that supports the &quot;Time to Kill it&quot;  I have seen others make similar comments but have not found the documents to support it.

But I do have a question what is a doc to do if he goes ahead and obtains an app whch complies with MU but the app does not certify (for cost reason the developer chooses not to)?  

Thanks]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve attended an Edward Tufte (ET) workshop and also have read a few of his books. Excellent Stuff! Although to be correct, I believe it was Richard Feynman, noted Physicist who presented to the Challenger Investigative Board a very realistic example of the o-ring fragility. ET compares and contrasts this example with poor visual information design that was presented. You can find his books plus more at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; his website www.edwardtufte.com&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have attended many Tufte seminars.  I have the map of Napolean&#039;s death march to Russia over my desk, which shows how he has 6 otr 7 variables tracking on two dimensional paper...direction, location, temperature, troop strength, geographical landmarks, etc.

Tufte has a great example of how the Space Challenger disaster could have been avoided by using his data visualization techniques]]></description>

Using CNSI‘s mature delivery model we are executing multi-year healthcare projects, ranging in size from $30 million to $180 million. 

Our focus on delivering value and reducing overall TCO for our customers, has ensured that we realize over 75% of our revenue from existing customers.
 
CNSI has developed solutions primarily for Healthcare Payer organizations. Our expertise in healthcare include solutions for:
