State of the lab 10 and 11 - the first years at ETH Zurich
Yet another lake by a mountain in SwitzerlandThis blog post is part of a(nearly) yearly series on running a research group in academia. This post summarizes years 10 and 11, the first 2 years after moving to ETH Zurich. It also marks the end of the first decade as a research group leader, which is meaningful only because we have ten fingers and use 10 as a base for counting but I digress. There has been a lot to adapt to in moving to a new country including all the basics of moving, re-building the group and starting teaching. It was a lot easier than the first time around since I didn ' t have to set up the group from zer...

What Healthcare Policy or Regulation Would You Change if You Could?
Rules and regulations are put into place in order to keep people safe, on both the administrator end and the user end.

American Telemedicine Association Leaps Into Privacy and AI Policies
The computerization of daily life has evolved from a set of technical decisions to a matter of urgent public policy over the past few decades. The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) recently released two sets of principles that highlights its concerns in two prominent computing issues: privacy and AI.
Of course, privacy and AI both make front-page news these days. Concerns over the data protection of individuals dates back to the 1970s. The issue takes on new urgency since evidence has emerged about the manipulation of voters and exploitation of children. AI became the subject of an international summit at Bletchley P...

Banner Health ’ s Automated ROI Process Benefits Patients, Call Center Agents and HIM Dept
The number of release of information (ROI) requests in healthcare continues to grow. Banner Health transformed their ROI process with automation from MRO and new workflows to better handle the increased volume. See the results.

More data means more information that must be shared by healthcare providers when an ROI request is made.
In the fall of 2022, new federal rules around information blocking ...
