>> when patients are registered electronically, we generate electronic queries out to the provider organizations as i mentioned we have medicaid, medicare, and queries are sent via 1 e app to check on their potential qualifications for being signed up to various programs. so that's part of the standard eligibility check now for the patients. supervisor chu: right, i get that. but the avatar system i'm understanding is your maybe records information system and it sounds like you were age sage there is a component where that is connected to what you are able to bill, right? >> correct. supervisor chu: so that billing portion hypothetically, you have to have eligibility in order to draw down on certain programs. i am wondering if your 1 e app kind of synched up with this system to the patients are build up. >> they can check on the eligibility status for those programs and behavioral health patients. choich thank you. why don't we go to the budget analyst's report. >> madam chair, members of the committee, supervisor olague, as we point out on page two of our report and as has been stated, this ori

and also acquiring additional modules on the electronic medical records piece of the software system that he with have to accommodate new regulations and proposals for the federal electronic medical record incentive payments. the current system is implemented has been live for two years. we have near 3,000 clinical users utilizing it and 200 physicians doing electronic medical records prescribing and the current amendment allows for additional acquisitions for optional items as the health care reform legislation kind of evolves with the federal government. i would be happy to answer any questions. supervisor chu: thank you, just a quick question for you. with regards to the implement takes you said the avatar system has been up and running for two years now? >> correct. yes, we went live on july 1 of 2010, two years will be completed in july of 2012. supervisor chu: how is that implementation going? >> we have 3,000 -- it's a combination of d.p.h., civil service employees as well as significant amount of community-based organizations that use the system. so we currently have 3,000 cl

implementations at the same time of this to bring up all of those areas up on electronic records. because of the billing regulations that pertain specifically to behavioral health, we needed to have a specific system to do this. supervisor kim: and for just a layperson like me to understand, does improved outcomes mean increased ability for clinics to do billing, for example, which is an issue with some community clinics, is there something they're able to do, the reimbursements and what does it mean for the patient itself? what are the improvements that the patients will see through the system? >> one of the big aspects of health care reform with the high-tech regulations in phase two of meaningful use is an emphasis on patients being able to access their records electronically. that's built right into the regulations. and we anticipate that, you know, phase one is to transition those records from paper to electronics, but phase two would be an increased emphasis on getting individuals accessing their patient records via patient portals and that sort of thing. supervisor kim: the

- electron. - electron. now we have to make the symbol for electron. e for electron, get it? mm-hmm. what's the atomic number of an electron? - negative one. - atomic number? negative one. what is atomic number, anyway? charge, right? what's the charge of an electron? - negative one. - negative one. what's the mass of an electron? zero. well, it's closer to zero than it is to one if one is the mass of a proton or neutron. and this has got, like, about 2,000th the mass. that's closer to zero than to one. so we round off atomic mass number, anyway. this is zero. now, what does the thorium become? well, what do we got over here for an atomic number? 91. do you see it's 91? yeah. 91. and what's the mass gonna be? - 89. - now, what has 91? protactinium. - is it gonna be 91, gang? - yeah. let's check. - 91 minus 1 equals 90. - correct. it's 91. that's interesting. some people think that radioactive decay, you start with uranium and work down, down, down, down the periodic table approaching hydrogen. not true. when beta particles are emitted, you climb up the table, gang. you see th

now, if electrons moving this way are forced up, what would happen if i just take the electrons and force them down or just move them down? they're gonna be forced perpendicular. but this time, guess what's along the perpendicular direction? begin with w. wire, there's a path. so when the electrons are coming down there again deflected, it could go like this, it could go like that, the same thing. they're deflected. this time they shot up before there's nothing to do, but pull the whole wire up too. but if i came in this way, foom, they shoot up, but they go along the wire. so what i've done is i've produced a current. so this over here produces an electric pressure on there, which we call a voltage. and so a voltage produced in a wire crossing through a magnetic field is not fundamentally different than having electrons go through a wire this way and being popped up the side. mm, it's the same thing. check that part in the book. it's the distinction between the motor effect and the generator effect. they're really one and the same physics. check that out. now over here, we have a generat

200 million electron volts. so you see, when you try to fission things, i mean, when you try to fuse things on this side, if you fuse these things, you're gonna climb a hill. you're gonna gain mass. what you wanna do is lose mass after reaction. lose mass. if you understand that, you can answer this question. let's suppose you have some iron and with this iron-- it's in the future, we get fusion power plants, we get fission power plants. and in the future we have-- and you get some iron. you wanna bring the iron to the power plants so you can get some energy out of it. should you bring the iron to the fission power plant or the fusion power plant? check your neighbor. see if your neighbor be know it. okay, gang. what be the answer? neither. what happen if you fission it? iron's 26. let's suppose your fission did exactly in half. then the two pieces would have what atomic number? 13. do you have to know what half of 26 is? 13. what is it? 13. is it 13? okay. it'd be two 13s, yeah? the two 13s-- [makes sounds] you

begin with e. - electricity. - electrons. the electrons in a piece of copper wire. you can make those things slosh back and forth too. and you plug it in the plug in your house, and what do you do? what the power company does, it'll just move them. and by the way, did you catch in the chapter? how many electrons come from the power plant to your house annually, about-- a lot or a little? a lot. answer don't begin with a l. what's the answer, gang? how many electrons come from the power company into your home in about one year, one year's time? give me an answer. - zero. - yeah, zero. none. the power company doesn't send any electrons at all to you. that power company says, "you give me something "chock-full of loose electrons, honey, and we'll make them move." see? that pipe that was filled with water, you gotta supply the water. you look inside there, honey, it's dry. there's just two pistons, okay? and they're gonna push the water you supply. and when every time you take a piece of wire and you plug it in to light up a lamp, honey, that wire is chock-full of loose

now, if electrons moving this way are forced up, what would happen if i just take the electrons and force them down or just move them down? they're gonna be forced perpendicular. but this time, guess what's along the perpendicular direction? begin with w. wire, there's a path. so when the electrons are coming down there again deflected, it could go like this, it could go like that, the same thing. they're deflected. this time they shot up before there's nothing to do, but pull the whole wire up too. but if i came in this way, foom, they shoot up, but they go along the wire. so what i've done is i've produced a current. so this over here produces an electric pressure on there, which we call a voltage. and so a voltage produced in a wire crossing through a magnetic field is not fundamentally different than having electrons go through a wire this way and being popped up the side. mm, it's the same thing. check that part in the book. it's the distinction between the motor effect and the generator effect. they're really one and the same physics. check that out. now over here, we have a generat

everyone has committed to the idea that electronic money in our lives is useful. bank account or credit card, just a payment option. it is not electronic money in general but most of us have given in to this idea. if you say let's meet cash everyone says big brother is going to be watching me and the banks and credit card companies are monitoring my transactions and already live in that world so you get this recoil response. another group you have is less impassioned but i hear from people that there's something about the physical. something about the physical. of lot of people who don't like the books love to hold something and embedded in that response is also a much more sins sir concerned that people hold on to catch more tightly. the credit card defect catalyzes spending and that is a problem for a lot of people. americans are on the hoof for $800 billion in credit-card debt. a lot of drug dealers don't like me because cash is the currency of crime. they're not writing me e-mails per se but i will let you know if they stop by my house or anything. what is in

the assembly member has proposed an amendment that would allow us to move forward with all the electronic filing, which has been a priority of ours for a long time, so this is very good news. the city's legislative affairs committee has voted to approve the legislation. actually, they wanted to sponsor it. they normally only suppose it or not, so this takes it one step further. so it has been endorsed by the city itself, and i've found that this afternoon that staff is recommending that another indorse it at their april 5 meeting, so that is good news for us, and i believe it has got fairly smooth sailing ahead. this will be a good chance for san francisco once again to sort of take the lead in doing something new with electronic filing, which, for a lot of reasons, say does not only staff resources but all kinds of paper and other things. >> so is this legislation to allow san francisco to do it or others? executive director: i am sorry. that is completely wrong. it allows -- it would be anybody who wants to do it, but they have to get permission. in our case, the board of supervisors. i
