The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued an emergency directive requiring civilian agencies update or disconnect on-premises Microsoft Exchange servers. ....
By GCN Staff Mar 03, 2021 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has stopped offering the paper and associated raster versions of the marine navigation chart for Lake Tahoe – the first chart to be sunsetted under the five-year plan to move to fully electronic navigational charts (ENCs). After August, the agency said in a Feb. 26 announcement, the electronic version will be the only NOAA nautical chart of the area. The Lake Tahoe chart was selected to test the various system modifications required for ENCs, which provide a detailed representation of the U.S. coastal and marine environment. Going forward, the only updates NOAA will apply to the updates of raster charts are those critical to navigation, such as the location of newly discovered shoals or changes to buoys. Routine information, such as shoreline survey data, will only be updated in the ENCs. If the two versions get too far out of sync, the raster chart may be cancelled earlier. ....
By GCN Staff Mar 02, 2021 The Department of Veterans Affairs is installing 5G networks at its Miami and Puget Sound health care facilities. Working with T-Mobile, which currently provides the in-building 4G LTE wireless connectivity at the Miami Health Care System, the VA will install in-building 5G radios for 2.5 GHz spectrum to deliver speeds of 300 megabit/sec with peaks up to 1 gigabit/sec. The faster network will allow medical teams to quickly move and access large, complex data files, such as imaging results, labs and medical charts, without having to be tethered to a computer, the company said. T-Mobile already provides up to 70,000 lines of wireless service to doctors, nurses and hospital staff across VA hospitals and has helped enhance access to the VA s telehealth platform, VA Video Connect. ....
By GCN Staff Feb 26, 2021 To improve the quality of medical care for military service members, researchers are adopting artificial intelligence and markerless motion-capture technology to assess the biomechanical skills of medical trainees and provide feedback for improvement. “Simulation-based medical skill training, both initial and refresher training, require systematic, objective, high quality trainee evaluation and feedback,” the Army’s Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium said in a request for proposals. Unfortunately, MTEC said, evaluation and feedback on trainees’ performance are currently based on trainers’ standards rather than on an objective skill performance standard. The Investigating Methods for Performance Overdrive (IMPROVE) program aims to address these assessment challenges. In December 2020, MTEC tapped the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop a simulation-based training system that compares the physical performance of ....
