Abstract: A method for the destruction of data carriers preventing access to the process of rendering confidential data carriers, which consist of paper or similar material, unreadable and allowing the carriers to be destroyed. In the method, confidential data carriers are collected at the point of origin in secure collection containers, removed by a collection vehicle, and are supplied to a paper recycling plant in a final step. The interior of a mobile pulper, which is connected to the collection vehicle, is filled with the confidential data carriers, the carriers are mixed with a pulping fluid and the mixture is blended by an agitator to form a suspension of defibrated documents and pulping fluid, a hydromechanical pulping process taking place in the pulper before the suspension is supplied to the paper recycling plant.

Abstract: A method and system for assessing the risk of a cardiac event in a patient which utilizes real-time and historical data from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems is described. A risk of a cardiac event is estimated, in real-time or near-real-time, for a patient who is currently in a hospital emergency department. Batch data for one or more past patients is extracted from EMRs into a machine learning model. Using the machine learning model, a risk level for one or more past patients is calculated. A real-time database is constructed from streams of real-time Health Level 7 (HL7) clinical data, wherein at least one stream of real-time HL7 clinical data is associated with the current patient, and a risk prediction is estimated by joining the calculated risk level for the patient in the machine learning model with the real-time HL7 clinical data from the patient.
