Care Communications, Inc. a health information management (HIM) consulting and outsourcing firm, announced today it has been recognized as one of “Chicago’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For” by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). 2011 marks the fourth consecutive year that Care Communications has received the award, after being recognized as an Elite Award winner the previous three consecutive years.
“In the healthcare industry, shortages of highly skilled knowledge workers to meet the transformational changes created by electronic medical records, a new coding and classification system, and reimbursement under healthcare reform makes keeping talented and committed employees more important than ever. Our employees are vital to our success, as well as the success of our clients,” said Leslie Ann Fox, CEO of Care Communications. “Being acknowledged for a fourth consecutive year reflects our commitment to retaining the best talent in the HIM industry.”
The NABR awards were established to honor companies across all industries that recognize employees as their greatest asset. The competition received hundreds of entries and recognized the top companies as “Chicago’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For.” An independent research firm evaluates all entries and assesses nominated companies on several key measures, and each application is examined statistically for quantitative data and scored using a point system. Companies receiving the highest points are selected as the winners.
The NABR will recognize winners at the “Chicago’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For” annual symposium and awards luncheon on August 1 , 2011 at the Chicago Oak Brook Marriott in Oak Brook, Ill. Along with honoring winning companies, NABR will also present 11 elite awards at the event.

New IBM Sustainable Supplier Information Management Consulting Offering
A new IBM (NYSE: IBM) consulting service can help clients develop methods to collect, manage and analyze supplier information for energy use, environmental impact, quality, safety, cost, efficiency, and labor practices.
This offering draws on IBM's own experience running one of the largest, most complex supply chains in the world, including development of an expansive database covering 30,000 supplier locations in 60 countries to help collect and analyze data on a wide range of sustainability issues. This will allow clients to improve supply chain efficiency, lower costs, and reduce waste and environmental impact, and reporting sustainability information to business partners, regulators and other key stakeholders.
"A global supply chain with thousands of partners exposes a company to increased risk, waste, inefficiency, environmental impact and cost," said Eric Riddleberger, IBM's business strategy consulting global leader, who heads up the company's corporate social responsibility consulting efforts. "Being able to set sustainability standards and truly measure performance against them across such a large network is an enormous task, particularly in industries such as consumer products, retail and healthcare."
Companies are under tremendous pressure to continuously improve business performance and sustainability, and that extends to their entire supply chains. Inefficiencies and inconsistent practices can cause excessive use of energy, water and materials, increased environmental impact, variances in quality, product safety concerns and poor labor practices throughout the supply chain. These can lead to increased cost, compliance issues, and disenfranchising key stakeholders, such as customers, shareholders, partners, and current and prospective employees, who care about these issues.
To improve efficiency and consistency and reduce environmental impact, companies must use new "smart" technologies and processes that allow them collect and analyze large amounts of information from across their supplier networks. This allows them to apply uniform standards, measure compliance and performance, and take corrective action where necessary. IBM estimates that doing this effectively could improve supply chain efficiency by a minimum of 8 to 12 percent or more, with corresponding reductions in cost, environmental impact and risk.
But most companies are not equipped to do that kind of data collection and analysis, either within their own operations or across their supply chains. In IBM's 2009 global survey of c-level executives on green and sustainability, 29 percent of the respondents said they aren't collecting any of this data at all from their supply chains. Eight in 10 aren't collecting supplier data for CO2 emissions and water usage, and six in 10 aren't checking supplier data for labor standards.
Half the respondents said supply chain partners are requiring that they adopt new standards for carbon management, but only 19 percent are collecting CO2 emissions data often enough to effectively manage it. And three-quarters said supply chain partners also require they adopt new standards for energy management, waste and ethical labor standards.
IBM's Sustainable Supplier Information Management offering is designed to help them develop processes and systems for:
The Sustainable Supplier Information Management offering can be used with IBM's Sustainable Procurement offering, which helps companies define cost, efficiency and sustainability measurements and goals for their procurement activities. This covers all supplies, materials, ingredients, components, finished goods and services they purchase to run their operations and to develop, manufacture and deliver their own products or services.

Information Consulting Firm InOutsource Finalist for Green Leadership Award
InOutsource, a leading provider of records retention and information management consulting to law firms, announced today that NJBIZ, New Jersey's weekly business journal, named the company a finalist in the journal's Green Leadership Awards in the category of Green Education.
An independent panel of judges agreed that InOutsource's environmental educational program showed achievement and initiative. Last August 2008, InOutsource began educating the legal industry on the top practices for environmentally friendly records management. With new technology and new electronic-based processes, corporations had started to demand that their law firms follow environmentally friendly practices. InOutsource saw an opportunity to educate these law firms on best practices in records management to help them comply with client demands; these practices lead to reduced paper usage, reduced resource usage, decreased storage needs, increased recycling and more.
Launching the campaign at the International Legal Technology Association annual conference, InOutsource distributed a list to show attendees - printed on recycled paper and designed to be posted on a bulletin board at work -- of the top 10 environmentally friendly records management practices, and also contributed $1 for every person who visited their booth to The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees campaign. At the show, they spoke with hundreds of attendees about environmentally friendly records management practices. The company posted the same list to their corporate Web site so every visitor can see the link when they visit. This top 10 list generated interest from legal industry publications for more information so Nancy Beauchemin, President of InOutsource, began contributing articles on the use of best practices in records management that lead naturally to environmental consciousness. These articles reached more than 92,000 readers.
In addition to reaching large audiences through educational trade shows and articles, the consultants at InOutsource continually strive to improve awareness on a one-on-one basis with their clients. Through their consulting practices, InOutsource designs systems and processes for law firms to efficiently manage and store information that comply with federal and state regulatory requirements, satisfy client needs, and consider environmental demands.
The winners of the Green Leadership Awards will be announced June 2nd.

Iron Mountain's Consulting Services group will advise clients on meeting numerous legal, regulatory, and operational requirements by working with them to develop records management policies and procedures like retention schedules. PwC's consultants will help clients make important information lifecycle decisions like how to retain, identify, preserve, protect, produce, archive and dispose of information.

"Together, PwC, Iron Mountain and Stratify can help clients rationalize their enterprise-wide information stores, reduce costs and risks, and improve end-to-end operational effectiveness."
