Greater attention is being paid to the laws regulating the sale of goods to foreigners. The number of names on the "denied parties" lists has grown significantly since September 11. Even before September 11, US Congress was considering dramatic increases in the fines and penalties for companies that fail to check these lists or ignore the regulations requiring an export license for controlled goods. If a U.S. company is found to be non-compliant, its goods can be delayed, seized, or it can be fined and have its export privileges revoked. For a multinational, these consequences, as well as the loss of reputation, can be financially disastrous. LAZAR provides services and technology which enables businesses with denied party screening and license detection applications. More than ever, businesses need to know who their customers are and how their product will be used. It’s a matter of national security. LAZAR services include:

Democratic tradition empowers these organizations to do so in exchange for close control of all financial processes. Public Sector Accounting therefore is one of the most important tasks of organizations operating in the public sector. For this reason, monitoring the flow of funds from the source via the budget to those receiving the service financed by revenues is a core process in the LAZAR Public Sector solution powered by SAP. |

Health care in the United States is provided by many separate legal entities. More is spent on health care in the United States on a per capita basis than in any other nation in the world. A study of international health care spending levels published in the health policy journal Health Affairs in the year 2000, found that while the U.S. spends more on health care than other countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the use of health care services in the U.S. is below the OECD median by most measures. The authors of the study conclude that the prices paid for health care services are much higher in the U.S. In 1996, 5% of the population accounted for more than half of all costs. Active debate over health care reform in the United States concerns questions of a right to health care, access, fairness, efficiency, cost, and quality. The World Health Organization (WHO), in 2000, ranked the U.S. health care system as the highest in cost, first in responsiveness, 37th in overall performance, and 72nd by overall level of health (among 191 member nations included in the study). The WHO study has been criticized in a study published in Health Affairs for its methodology and lack of correlation with user satisfaction ratings. A 2008 report by the Commonwealth Fund ranked the United States last in the quality of health care among the 19 compared countries. However, the U.S. is a leader in medical innovation, with three times higher per-capita spending than Europe. The U.S. also has higher survival rates than most other countries for certain conditions, such as some less common cancers, but has a higher infant mortality rate than all other developed countries. According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, the United States is the "only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not ensure that all citizens have coverage"(i.e. some kind of insurance) -Source Wikipedia LAZAR strongly believes that the way to reform our crippling Healthcare industry is through IT Reform and therefore implementing better IT Solutions that provide real time data to the hospitals, doctors and nurses. There should be 1 system that is responsible for storing patient records, able to do inventory planning for surgery supplies, provide diagnostics in real time at the fingertips of the caregivers. In order to do that, decision makers need to change the way they think and understand how IT for Healthcare should and could work and only then understand that it is possible to have all those multitudes of systems replaced by ONE SOLUTION. SAP for Healthcare is the only solution in today’s market that can do this and more.In healthcare organizations today, integrated, individualized information can allow healthcare professionals and organizations to collaborate on behalf of the patient to provide the best care. Patients can also use this information to proactively manage their own care—but this all requires a unified view of relevant information. LAZAR and its Business Partners offer health portal and health information exchange solutions that can enable clinicians and patients to more securely view integrated information—from medical records and lab results to personal health information and appointment scheduling. Providing efficient access to patient health and administrative data, across care settings, can enable more meaningful collaboration among clinicians and improve the quality of interaction between patient and physician. An integrated view of information can also help provider organizations engage their communities, using personalized information to help individuals manage chronic disease and stay healthy. Taking into account the intense scrutiny - especially concerning cost effectiveness - healthcare organizations (e.g. hospitals) are faced with, it is important to ensure that the processes from patient registration to invoicing are seamless and transparent but even more importantly, accurate. |

Smart Contracts are a central component to next-generation blockchain platforms.
Blockchain technology is much broader than just bitcoin. The sustained levels of robust security achieved by public cryptocurrencies have demonstrated to the world that this new wave of blockchain technologies can provide efficiencies and intangible technological benefits very similar to what the internet has done. However, blockchains are a very powerful technology, capable of performing complex operations, capable of understanding much more than just how many bitcoins you have currently have in your digital wallet. This is where the idea of smart contracts come in. Smart contracts are already becoming a cornerstone for enterprise blockchain applications and will likely become one of the pillars of blockchain technology.
Smart contracts (also called self-executing contracts, blockchain contracts, or digital contracts) are simply computer programs that act as agreements where the terms of the agreement can be preprogrammed with the ability to self-execute and self-enforce itself. The main goal of a smart contract is to enable two anonymous parties to trade and do business with each other, usually over the internet, without the need for a middleman. The origin and history of smart contracts is much older than bitcoin and dates back to the 1990’s.The term ‘smart contract’ was first coined in 1993 by one of bitcoin's alleged creators, Nick Szabo, and referred to self-automated computer programs that can carry out the terms of any contract.
Contact us to today to discuss your specific use case and how smart contracts can help your organization.
