Form the very first release of the very first Warcraft game in November of 2004, Warcraft has broken records left, right and center. And most of all it has won the gaming hearts of millions of dedicated gamers around the world. This is why World of Warcraft preorder sales went sky high when its release was announced.

Fans of the previous versions of Warcraft were convinced that this new game could not but fail to come through for them. This was in November 23rd of 2004, and the fans were proven right. The millions of people who got a World of Warcraft preorder version were rewarded for their loyalty and dedication to the game. World of Warcraft lived up to their expectations in every way.

Following on the heels of this brilliant victory, another marketing masterpiece was launched. This time it was World of Warcraft: the Board Game. This particular World of Warcraft preorder promotional strategy was coordinated together with the online retailers of the World of Warcraft board game, Fantasy Flight Games.

This World of Warcraft preorder promotion featured more than just the board game as well. For the dedicated fans who were willing to go the distance and place a World of Warcraft preorder, they were able to order one of sixteen different bronze World of Warcraft heroes.

These were Rare Edition figures of which there were only 300 sets made. Needless to say this was also a huge success. This World of Warcraft preorder promotion was held in late October of 2005 until the end of November of 2005.

Following on the heels of this latest success Blizzard then proceeded to announce its next World of Warcraft preorder promotion. This went very far in the way of generating much interest in all echelons of the game playing world. Blizzard was releasing an expansion pack for World of Warcraft, and it was called World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade.

As far as promotions went this last World of Warcraft preorder promotion was to prove to be the most spectacular of all. Interest in this game was rife, and a personal milestone of over 8 million players worldwide was reached in January of 2007, days before the expansion pack was released.

There was no doubt in anyone’s minds at this point that the Burning Crusade expansion pack was going to be a personal triumph for World of Warcraft and Blizzard. World of Warcraft preorder promotions showed that enthusiasm for the Burning Crusade expansion pack was more than promising.

This was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt at midnight on January 16, 2007 when it was released in the United States, Europe and Canada.

This worldwide release confirmed, and went beyond, what the World of Warcraft preorder promotions had predicted. The World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade expansion pack sold over a total of 2.4 million copies worldwide in the first 24 hour period, breaking any and all previous records for such games.

If you’ve been to a new doctor’s office lately, you may have had the experience of having the medical assistant use a computer to record all of your symptoms and complaints. It’s also quite likely that the doctor also used a computer to make his or her notes, order tests and perhaps even fax your prescription directly to your pharmacy. Welcome to the world of electronic medical records, also known as EMRs.

As we begin to rely on technology more and more, it seems inevitable that we’d eventually develop electronic medical records. Some organizations have embraced them wholeheartedly, while other doctors resist using EMRs. In addition, patients are divided between loving the convenience of these new systems and worrying about their privacy. But what are the pros and cons of using EMRs?

In theory, EMRs would reduce medical errors. Doctors have infamously horrible handwriting, and an electronic record would eliminate any problems due to legibility. An error could still be made by checking the wrong box in a form for example, but EMRs have programs in place to help catch these types of errors. On the other hand, EMRs can be too limiting in the case of patients who have multiple conditions or whose conditions don’t fit neatly into the record’s pre-established criteria.

In addition, the volume of paper medical records can grow considerably over time until they becomes quite bulky. Paper degrades and there’s the ongoing problem of increasing storage requirements. EMRs, on the other hand, can always be stored in a small amount of space.

Paper medical records are also subject to loss from fire, flood damage or other emergency. While EMRs may also fall prey to such hazards, it’s easier to backup electronic data and store it off site so that it can be recovered in the event of a disaster.

When a patient’s records are in paper form, it can be harder to get copies of all documents to the various sites where they are needed. When the records are contained in an EMR, the information can be more easily accessed. On the other hand, there is, at present, no standardization among EMRs. If you use providers who aren’t part of the same system and use different EMR formats, it can be hard to transfer information from one record to another.

Access to an EMR is also a major privacy issue. Patients worry that computer systems can be hacked and wireless networks aren’t always secure. For this reason, it’s far easier to steal information from an EMR than from a paper medical record. Patients also worry that sensitive medical data could be used inappropriately, such as when applying for a job or admission to college. While it’s against the law to discriminate, when it comes to this type of information, once it’s been seen, it can’t be forgotten. As medical information becomes more advanced – including genetic information, for example – people have even more reason to worry that the information will wind up in the wrong hands.

Finally, when a health care provider is busy entering information into an EMR, it can be easy to ignore the patient or reduce the patient interview to a series of questions designed to allow the doctor to tick off the appropriate boxes. The practice of medicine is still an art, and some patient advocates argue that EMRs could detract from the human side of the equation.
