New Corcentric Blog: The #1 Concern for Accounts Payable Departments

Corcentric explores the state of AP and finds that cost reduction is not the biggest concern.

2013-06-19

MCLEAN, VA, June 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) This week's blog from Corcentric, a leading provider of Accounts Payable automation and straight through processing, discusses how concerns have shifted for AP departments, focusing on the fact that the biggest concern is improving processes and reducing errors, far more than reducing costs and making on-time payments.

Corcentric digs deeper into this finding to discuss how implementing e-invoicing and workflow automation may offer an answer to these top concerns, from eliminating paper to streamlining the approval process. The blog showcases the fact that an automated AP solution can quintuple the amount of invoices a single processor can handle on a monthly basis. The blog also points out the fact that the use of technology and automation for AP is growing, citing the TAPN report, "Benchmarks: The State of Accounts Payable 2013," which finds that 60% of the respondents now describe themselves as having high or medium automation. Readers of the blog will also be able to download Corcentric's "Best Practice Guide: Preparing Your AP Department for the Future."

The Corcentric blog is a knowledge center for accounts payable professionals to explore automation best practices along with the latest trends and news in financial process automation.

OHSU review: Previous studies overstated evidence on Medtronic spinal fusion product

2013-06-18

PORTLAND, Ore. — An analysis by the Evidence-based Practice Center at Oregon Health & Science University has found that previously published clinical trial studies about a controversial bone growth product used in spinal surgeries overstated the product's effectiveness. The OHSU analysis found the product offered no real benefit over bone grafts traditionally used in such surgeries and also found that previous studies had underreported harms that occurred in the studies. All but one of those studies were funded by the product's manufacturer, Medtronic. The OHSU review ...

UT Arlington provides first academic study of journalists and private citizens' drone use

2013-06-18

Newly published research from a University of Texas at Arlington communication team offers a groundbreaking perspective on the controversial use of unmanned aerial vehicles in journalism and mass communication, or "drone journalism." The remotely guided aircraft gained prominence in the military's hunt for suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Such drones can be large, some about the size of small planes, which operate at higher altitudes and serve various functions. Domestically, much smaller drones have been used to capture photographs and video images on ...

Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates

2013-06-18

HOUSTON -- (June 17, 2013) -- Taking a page from computer-aided drug designers, Rice University researchers have developed a computational method that chemists can use to tailor the properties of zeolites, one of the world's most-used industrial minerals. The research is available online and will be featured on the June 21 cover of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Journal of Materials Chemistry A. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they want to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it. The findings ...

IQ link to baby's weight gain in first month

2013-06-18

New research from the University of Adelaide shows that weight gain and increased head size in the first month of a baby's life is linked to a higher IQ at early school age. The study was led by University of Adelaide Public Health researchers, who analysed data from more than 13,800 children who were born full-term. The results, published in the journal Pediatrics, show that babies who put on 40% of their birthweight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher by the time they were six years of age, compared with babies who only put on 15% of their birthweight. Those ...

Aspirin may fight cancer by slowing DNA damage

2013-06-18

Aspirin is known to lower risk for some cancers, and a new study led by a UC San Francisco scientist points to a possible explanation, with the discovery that aspirin slows the accumulation of DNA mutations in abnormal cells in at least one pre-cancerous condition. "Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are commonly available and cost-effective medications, may exert cancer-preventing effects by lowering mutation rates," said Carlo Maley, PhD, a member of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and an expert on how cancers evolve ...

Fibromyalgia is not all in your head, new research confirms

2013-06-18

[June 17, 2013, Rensselaer, NY] – Fibromyalgia, a painful condition affecting approximately 10 million people in the U.S., is not imaginary after all, as some doctors have believed. A discovery, published this month in PAIN MEDICINE (the journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine), clearly now demonstrates that fibromyalgia may have a rational biological basis located in the skin. Fibromyalgia is a severely debilitating affliction characterized by widespread deep tissue pain, tenderness in the hands and feet, fatigue, sleep disorders, and cognitive decline. However, ...

Smoking and neurosurgical outcomes

2013-06-18

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (JUNE 18, 2013). The effects of long-term cigarette smoking on morbidity and mortality have long been known. In a more immediate sense, smoking in the days and weeks before surgery can lead to morbidity and complications for many surgical procedures. In this review, researchers from the University of California San Francisco and Yale University examined the surgical literature and, specifically, the neurosurgical literature to characterize the impact of active smoking on neurosurgical outcomes. They found strong evidence for the association between smoking ...
