101219 -        information, which I assume should be confidential.  Why do I
101220 -        know he was 10 minutes late for a meeting, why Millie has been

101234 - SDS records on the Internet are a new way of working to provide
101235 - "intelligence" for efficient communications that reduce mistakes and
101236 - helps solve difficult, complex problems.  "Intelligence support"

740869 -        1.  Laptop Internet Access (LIAS) Pilot Project
740870 -            Network Connectivity for Laptops at UCSF Library
740872 -             ..
740873 -            LIAS is a pilot projected conducted by the UCSF Library and
740874 -            Center for Knowledge Management.
740876 -             ..
740877 -            The primary objective is to determine the demand for
740878 -            laptop-computer access to the UCSF network and Internet by
740879 -            students and staff at the Library.  Students and staff of UCSF
740880 -            are welcome to participate.  Instructions on how to get set up,
740881 -            get registered to use LIAS, and more, is below.
740883 -             ..
740884 -            Overview
740886 -             ..
740887 -            With increasing use of laptop computers at UCSF, there is a
740888 -            growing need for network access for students, faculty and
740889 -            staff. Departments are beginning to require laptop
740890 -            computers as part of the basic equipment for students.
740891 -            This project will test the technical feasibility and demand
740892 -            for walk-in, plug-in network access to the UCSF network and
740893 -            Internet at the UCSF Library.
740895 -             ..
740896 -        2.  Network Based Printer and Content Access Charging
740897 -
740898 -            Charging for access to online content (e.g., journal
740899 -            articles, database records) and for printing from library
740900 -            public access workstations provides a way to distribute
740901 -            expenses for these services among the people who use them.
740902 -            This project will implement a Web-based charging system
740903 -            initially targeted at recovering printing costs, and later
740904 -            at content costs.  In the stateless Web environment, one
740905 -            challenge is accurately to associate individuals with
740906 -            accounting information and resource usage.  This project
740907 -            involves several components, including a campus community
740908 -            profile database, an account management system, a printer
740909 -            management system, and an access/resource control user
740910 -            interface.
740912 -             ..
740913 -        3.  SFizer Authenticate-Once Campus Dialin Access
740914 -
740915 -            Currently for UCSF Library staff test purposes only, this
740916 -            is an experimental web proxy aimed at making it easy for
740917 -            UCSF students, faculty, and staff to use UCSF-only web
740918 -            information services (e.g., site-licensed journals) even if
740919 -            they use an off-campus internet service provider (such as
740920 -            Pacific Bell).  Currently it requires an ITSA account, but
740921 -            will likely be enhanced to use the community profile
740922 -            database being developed for the network based charging
740923 -            (for printing and content) system described above.

740933 -            software maintained by the Center for Knowledge Management.
740934 -            Work on enhancements is ongoing.  Significant effort went
740935 -            into the GALEN redesign and public workstation rollout in
740936 -            July 1997; this included URL link validation, a server
740937 -            component upgrades, and search interface improvements

740963 -            complete enough to go into MEDLINE.  We worked with the
740964 -            University of California Office of the President (UCOP) to
740965 -            incorporate PREMEDLINE access into the MELVYL Web

740971 -            PREMEDLINE search and retrieval with this interface is
740972 -            conducted behind the scenes through a Z39.50 protocol
740973 -            connection directly to the source data residing on an NLM
740974 -            Z39.50 server.

740977 - John's letter concludes...
740978 -
740979 -    4.  A globally respected, worldwide institution, operational for
740980 -        more than a decade, with earth-shattering achievements,
740981 -        generally would not meet the criterion of 'new,' in my humble
740982 -        opinion. ref DRT 4 656K
740984 -  ..
740985 - Would like some examples of "achievements" that relate to "knowledge"
740986 - that is distinct from "information."  Is John's referent the list of
740987 - CKM development projects at the UCSF Internet location, per above?

740990 -            [On 060821 UCSF reliance on conversation to get the gist of
740991 -            the story for complex patient history avoids stress of
740992 -            cognitive overhead for preparing accurate written 2nd

741009 -     medicated patient, traumatized by fairly dangerous condition, for

790603 -
790604 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Millie saying...
790605 -
790606 -        The copy of the letter to the patient that references my
790607 -        treatment at Kaiser is disturbing.  Who is the patient?  What
790608 -        is her reference to names appearing on the internet.
790609 -        ref DRT 2 0001
790611 -  ..
790612 - Called Millie and discussed concerns.

791001 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0001 answering Millie's letter, and saying...
791002 -
791003 -    1.  This is a patient of your doctor at Kaiser. ref DIT 2 0001
791005 -         ..
791006 -    2.  As we discussed, she did a search on the Internet for the
791007 -        doctor and found an SDS record, and so she wrote to ask if
791008 -        Kaiser is putting patient information on the Internet.
791009 -        ref DIT 2 UU5O
791011 -         ..
791012 -    3.  As we further discussed, your name does not appear in any SDS
791013 -        record on the Internet. ref DIT 2 7V6J  In your subsequent
791014 -        letter today, you found a letter on 960406 that readacted names
791015 -        using an older method, ref SDS 1 6K49, and so it slipped
791016 -        through the cracks when a new method was adopted I think in
791017 -        2003 when the Booing matter came up.  I fixed it, and you can
791018 -        check to see that names do not appear. ref DRP 1 0001
791020 -         ..
791021 -    4.  This morning, I went ahead and checked for names of the doctor,
791022 -        the surgeon, and for the radiologist. ref DIT 2 DV7J  There
791023 -        were a few records that still had their names, so I changed the
791024 -        string to "the doctor," "the surgeon," and "the radiologist."
791026 -         ..
791027 -    5.  I have not heard back from the patient, but in any event a
791028 -        future search for these names will not yield SDS records on
791029 -        your case, once I submit a robots.txt file to Google.
