Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for integration scoring. Embodiments include importing a set of values from a data source to an electronic data system and assigning each value of the set of values to an import variable of a set of import variables in the electronic data system. Embodiments include displaying in a user interface a value for each import variable in the set of import variables in the electronic data system and receiving, via the user interface, one or more corrections to one or more import variables in the set of import variables. Embodiments include determining a weight corresponding to each import variable for which a correction was received. Embodiments include determining an integration score based on the one or more corrections and the weight corresponding to each import variable in the set of import variables for which a correction was received via the user interface.

Abstract: A bandage that facilitates the removal of the bandage from the skin is shown and described. The bandage has a selectively releasable adhesion reducing material contained in structures such as a selectively rupturable reservoir or a selectively deformable synthetic or natural matrix. When the adhesion reducing material is released from the reservoir, it contacts the bandage's skin adhesive and reduces its adhesion to the skin.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a system that includes a computer processor, a tracking engine executing on the computer processor, and a translation engine executing on the computer processor. The tracking engine is configured to retrieve a translation engine from a translation engine provider system, detect a user-generated action has occurred, and generate a pre-translated event for the user generated action using the translation engine application programming interfaces (APIs). The translation engine is configured to translate the pre-translation event to obtain a first translated event, prepare the first translated event for transmission to a first tracking system, and send the first translated event to the first tracking system.
