    1 The Cyrillic codepages There are several widely used Cyrillic codepages. Currently, we define here the following codepages: • cp 866 is the standard MS-DOS Russian codepage. There are also several codepages in use, which are very similar to cp 866. These are: so-called \Cyrillic Alternative codepage" (or Alternative Variant of cp 866), Modified Alternative Variant, New Alternative Variant, and experimental Tatarian codepage. The differences take place in the range 0xf2{0xfe. All these `Alternative' codepages are also supported. • cp 855 is the standard MS-DOS Cyrillic codepage. • cp 1251 is the standard MS Windows Cyrillic codepage. • pt 154 is a Windows Cyrillic Asian codepage developed in ParaType. It is a variant of Windows Cyrillic codepage. • koi8-r is a standard codepage widely used in UNIX-like systems for Russian language support. It is specified in RFC 1489. The situation with koi8-r is somewhat similar to the one with cp 866: there are also several similar codepages in use, which coincide with koi8-r for all Russian letters, but add some other Cyrillic letters. These codepages include: koi8-u (it is a variant of the koi8-r codepage with some Ukrainian letters added), koi8-ru (it is described in a draft RFC document specifying the widely used character set for mail and news exchange in the Ukrainian internet community as well as for presenting WWW information resources in the Ukrainian language), and ISO-IR-111 ECMA Cyrillic Code Page. All these codepages are supported also. • ISO 8859-5 Cyrillic codepage (also called ISO-IR-144). • Apple Macintosh Cyrillic (Microsoft cp 10007) codepage.

  • Small Practice Ambulatory Emr/Pm (10 Or Fewer Physicians) 2019
    SMALL PRACTICE AMBULATORY EMR/PM (10 OR FEWER PHYSICIANS) 2019 BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR CUSTOMER SUCCESS ® %/ Performance Report | January 2019 DRILL DEEPER TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 Executive Insights 6 Expanded Insights 29 Vendor Insights 31 AdvancedMD 45 eClinicalWorks 33 Allscripts 47 eMDs 35 Aprima 49 Greenway Health 37 athenahealth 51 Kareo 39 CareCloud 53 NextGen Healthcare 41 Cerner 55 Virence Health (GE Healthcare) 43 CureMD 57 Data Index 68 Vendor Executive Interview Details 1 EXECUTIVE INSIGHTS SMALL PRACTICE AMBULATORY EMR/PM (10 OR FEWER PHYSICIANS) 2019 BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR CUSTOMER SUCCESS As healthcare has moved beyond meaningful use, small practices have begun to expect more from their vendors and to look for EMRs that do more than meet basic regulatory requirements. As a result, EMR/PM satisfaction among small practices (10 or fewer physicians) has varied greatly over the past year—scores for a number of vendors have swung more than 10 percentage points (some positively, some negatively). To explore what the future holds for this market, KLAS spoke to hundreds of small practice customers about their EMR/PM experiences and needs and also interviewed executives and representatives from AdvancedMD, Allscripts, Aprima, athenahealth, Azalea Health, CareCloud, Cerner, CureMD, eMDs, Greenway Health, Kareo, NextGen, Quest Diagnostics, and Virence Health (GE Healthcare) to find out how these vendors plan to increase customer satisfaction going forward. What Are the Most Important Vendor/ NextGen Healthcare, CureMD, and Aprima Product Attributes for Small Practices? Most Aligned to Deliver Customer Success (n=57) The green bars represent the total tallies after New 7 Technology each need was weighted When asked to name the top things EMR/PM vendors should focus based on whether the respondent ranked it first, on, small practices overwhelmingly say that before addressing more Advanced Needs second, or third.

  • ASCII Character Set
    APPENDIX A ASCII Character Set This appendix presents the material in the form of a table, provides ASCII character names and meanings, and clarifies what you enter from the keyboard. Some commands described in this publication, such as the escape-character line configuration command in the “Terminal Line and Modem Support Commands” chapter require that you enter the decimal representation of an ASCII character. Table A-1 provides code translations from ASCII characters to the decimal numbers. For example, the ASCII carriage return (CR) is decimal 13. This means that pressing Ctrl-M at your terminal generates decimal 13, which is interpreted as a CR.
