Curated updates posted by global standards developers.
In large research universities revenue from the medical research and healthcare delivery enterprises can run over half the gross revenue of the institution. Consideration for this occupancy class propagates across the catalogs of other consortia and ANSI-accredited healthcare standards developers.
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 16:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Several medical research and clinical delivery enterprises produce more than 50 percent of the income in large educational settlements. We collaborate with the IEEE to discover and promulgate best practice. Public comment on the Second Draft of the 2027 Edition will be received until March 31, 2026.
