For hospitals attempting to fill ever increasing vacancies, they are also facing increasing challenges associated with escalating competition from other healthcare institutions for the available workforce as well as fundamental changes in hospital care. Several trends are contributing towards today’s lower staff levels, including higher acuity patients who require more intensive care and treatment, coupled with global medical staffing shortages. A recent report conducted by AHRQ sought to investigate the relationship between nurse staffing levels and adverse patient outcomes. The findings were conclusive, replicating findings of previous studies, highlighting the direct relationship between the levels and quality of hospital staffing vacancies and a declining quality of care provided to patients, resulting in a higher incidence rate of adverse patient outcomes. The research also noted that changes in hospital care are further complicating staffing issues, as new medical technologies and a declining average length of stay have led to an increased amount of care being provided per patient while they are in hospital. New technologies are creating a situation where medical apparatus that was previously the sole domain of hospitals and other medical organisations are now available in a private setting. This is generating a scenario where patients are being discharged earlier and receiving care at home. However, this is creating further demand on the numbers and qualities of nurses who are now expected to perform their activities in a range of private and personal environments.With the advent of new technologies, there will be a resultant correlation in the demand for staff that are confident with, and trained in, new medical devices and apparatus. The internet has changed the way nearly everyone works and conducts business, and the healthcare industry is no exception. Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services have been, and will continue to be, positively influenced by IT and software developments. A classic example includes the electronic filing system giving immediate access to accurate patient histories and documentation. As technology affects the delivery of healthcare services, the role of hospital staff will also evolve. The internet and Web 2.0 technologies are also starting to affect the manner in which patients access their information, as well as having an increased level of control over their own care. These technologies will undoubtedly also affect the way that medical services are delivered. How the merging of healthcare and advances in technology evolve in the future will contribute to an exciting industry and careers where hospital staff are always in high demand.

Founded in 1964 as a way to encourage the “inventiveness” of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s staff, Yissum Research and Development Company seeks to support and encourage research, development and education in their efforts to turn science into commercial products for society. Yissum is charged with the not insignificant task of protecting HU’s inventions, products and technologies. Serving as the Technology Transfer Services for the university, Yissum focuses on the ongoing assessment, protection and commercial optimization of the university’s intellectual property.

In their 40-plus year history, Yissum has perhaps surpassed expectations, with reported annual revenues in excess of $ 40 million, mostly from royalties, and properties ranging from long-shelf-life tomatoes to treatments for cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, placing the Hebrew University in the world’s top 15 academic institutions as measured by revenues from intellectual property sales.

Protect, Partner, Perform

As the Technology Transfer University for HU, Yissum serves not only to protect the university’s intellectual properties, but also to partner with researchers and worldwide businesses to develop commercial markets, and through licensing, establishing companies, joint ventures and collaborative research, enhance the market value and performance of HU’s discoveries, increasing their availability to a global marketplace.

The arrangement has a track record of success. Hebrew University generates approximately $ 1 billion in annual sales from products in its IP base and Yissum represents over 250 licensed technologies and 60 spin-off companies. The numbers keep adding up with over 3,000 ongoing research projects, 1,200 researchers, 1,400 registered patents and 5 Nobel laureates, all representing 40% of Israel’s civilian scientific research. The range of intellectual properties includes a diverse mix of industrial and therapeutic areas, including biotechnology, nanotechnology, medical research and technologies, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and nutrition, water and environmental technologies, computer science and software development, homeland security and more.

The seemingly endless supply of promising research projects come from the university’s research base; supported by an annual budget of over $ 77 million, allowing Yissum to take advantage of Technology Transfer Opportunities by identifying appropriate commercial partners, negotiating license agreements, creating spin-off companies and working closely with local and global commercial partners.

Recent news items focus on the medical arena, with HU’s concept of using cellular technology to send X-rays and other medical diagnostics. The new technology would allow for the use of a smaller, less expensive and easier to use Data Acquisition Device (DAD) at remote patient sites, which would be connected via cell technology with advanced image reconstruction at a central site. The implications are far-reaching and could serve to bring advanced medical technology into areas that otherwise could not afford to have it at their disposal; bringing MRIs, X-Rays and other medical diagnostics into rural and third-world areas.

Technologies Supported

Reading through Yissum’s list of products and companies is like reading a Who’s Who directory of the medical and technological worlds. The lists are full of recognized names, successful products and companies that make headlines on a regular basis.

Products from Yissum include Alzheimer and dementia treatment Exelon, dry-eye treatments Cationorm and LO2A (Lacrycon, Dropyal), ovarian cancer treatment Doxil (Caeylx), UV-protection product UV-Pearls–already adopted by major companies for sunscreens and cosmetics, and a variety of other pharmaceutical products. Oh, remember those long-shelf-life tomatoes? That would thanks to BonTom Vegetable Breeding and Research Group, from HU, of course. Another agricultural product from Yissum and Hazera Genetics is the Ram Onion. On the software side, there is Making Better Career Decisions, an interactive, Internet based career-guidance and information system.

Looking over a partial list of companies shows even more diversity, touching on pharmaceuticals, biotech, agriculture and irrigation, water treatment, software development, safety, nanotechnology, and medical technologies, research, development and devices.

Water treatment technologies like En Gibton Ltd and Treatec 21 Industries Ltd; agricultural endeavors Leafsen Irrigation Systems Ltd, Kovax Ltd–vaccines for the aqua culture world, Avian Tech Ltd, and Ravgalai Ltd–detection of antibiotic residues in milk, meat and food products are just the start of the list. Technology and software development come into play with Ex Libris Ltd–high-performance applications for libraries, Mobileeye Vision Technologies Ltd–with automated, on-board driver assist systems and MusicGenome Inc–a system of identifying musical taste based on artificial intelligence.

Perhaps the heaviest area of development is in the medical and pharmaceutical arenas with a long list of companies researching and developing treatments for cancer–including Algen Pharmaceuticals Inc–basically “tricking” cancer cells into “committing suicide.” Other treatment technologies focus on infectious and autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and improving the efficacy of vaccines; even delving into the “nutraceutical” field with carriers for nutraceuticals to be incorporated in food systems and cosmetic formulations.

Technology Transfer Services

Yissum serves the Hebrew University, protecting its intellectual properties and moving forward with innovations and technologies into commercial endeavors, ultimately, serving the world community as well as the university through applied chemistry, physics, life science and biotechnologies, water technologies, nanotechnologies, and even veterinary medicine and agricultural technologies. It’s easy to see why Yissum is so highly regarded in the scientific and academic communities and ranks among the top Technology Transfer Services in the world.

Telemarketing is a significant way to generate leads for any type of business. It is a highly adaptable, capable and multi-purpose means to market services or products. It works well for all types of industry, including the technology sector.However, many IT-focused telemarketing campaigns fail due to several reasons. One of them is the lack of understanding for the industry itself and the key people making the buying the decisions, the CIOs. CIOs or CTOs are extremely busy professionals and attending to sales calls is simply not one of their top priorities.Here are some tips to help salespeople, particularly telemarketers, understand what really draws the attention of CIOs towards any kind of IT solution.Empathize with CIOs. Telephone marketing specialists should always empathize with them and understand their problems and issues. Easy, you say. But just like you and me, they have work-related objectives and interests. If they see that what you have to offer will benefit their organization and make them the best CIO they can be, then you will definitely get their attention and they will be willing to establish a business relationship with the company you are calling for.In-person meetings with them are vital. Sales opportunities with CIOs begin with being able to meet with them. If you are generating IT sales leads through appointment setting, make sure that you schedule quality face-to-face meetings so that the sales representative will have the opportunity to effectively explain the benefits of the service or product. While web seminars are so popular today, in-person meetings still do the trick.Before you call, take time to understand their business goals and the technology they’re using. CIOs simply don’t have the luxury of time to research and evaluate how the service or product you are offering can solve their IT challenges. You have to do it for them. It will help significantly if you research and ask them questions to find out what they need and analyze if what you have to offer can satisfy that need.Business intelligence. You would be surprised what a bit of research can do. Although business intelligence should be taken care of by the sales rep, it can do you good as a telephone marketing representative to do a bit of your own research just so you have an idea what kind of company you are calling, what their IT initiatives are or what kind of business environment they have. These information can be found online for free.Focus on one industry at a time. Marketing and selling to CIOs demand specialized and focused industry expertise. Companies don’t purchase technology. They purchase solutions. To be more specific, they purchase solutions for their industry and for their organization. Don’t spread yourself too thin and call from one industry to another. Become one with their sector. Learn as much as you can about a particular industry so you can effectively relate the benefits of the IT solution you are calling about to their vertical.Be technologically savvy. If you are already struggling to perform the telemarketing task, how much more will you struggle at telemarketing high-tech solutions? The reason most IT telemarketing people fail at this job is because they simply do not have the slightest idea what they are talking about. Technology sales are an entirely different ball game. Generic telemarketing pitches and canned responses won’t work in marketing to CIOs. You have to speak their language and have a broad and intimate understanding of current IT trends, the competition and their offerings.Learn how the IT business works. The IT selling process involves common policies, budget, technology objectives, interaction between business units and IT departments, etc. Talking the talk is just part of the entire process of marketing and selling to CIOs. You have to learn the complexities of the IT business.IT telemarketing was developed in order to help technology companies market their solutions more efficiently, however being successful at marketing IT products or services over the telephone depends on the telemarketer’s understanding of the business and the CIOs’ frame of mind.
