The Evolution of Healthcare at Home, the Technology Driving this Change, and It ’ s Impact on the World of Healthcare
The world of healthcare is ever-evolving, especially when new technology is being adopted. One such new area is healthcare at home. Although we were forced into fully remote operations with COVID-19, we have been making modifications along the way and have discovered how beneficial it can be to our organizations and our patients. To make further strides though, we have to understand where we’ve come from, where we are now, and how it is making an impact. So let’s take a deeper look into healthcare at home to see how it has evolved over time, the technology that is driving this change, and how it is impacting ou...

Harnessing Digital Innovation to Unlock Cancer Discoveries
By DOUG MIRSKY & BRIAN GONZALEZ
What if digital innovations could be the key to reducing the burden of cancer? CancerX was founded in 2023 as part of the Cancer Moonshot to achieve this goal. By uniting leading minds across industries such as technology, healthcare, science, and government, we are breaking down silos and leveraging digital innovation in the fight against cancer. With ambitious goals to cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% and to improve the experience of people who are affected by cancer, digital innovation is critical.

QHINs, Health Data Exchange, FHIR, AI and More with CommonWell Health Alliance
At HIMSS, we sat down to talk with CommonWell Health Alliance to learn about their passion for interoperability and some of the latest happenings with the CommonWell community. This included an update on CommonWell’s new technical service provider, ELLKAY and their recent designation by the federal government as a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN).
CommonWell was formed 11 years ago from a consortium of major EHR vendors to carry out the mandate for interoperable data exchange in the HITECH and Affordable Care Acts. As Executive Director Paul L Wilder points out, they are a “switchboard” throu...

Supported self-management – what are we managing, actually?
One of the words that has been in my vocabulary for decades is ‘management.’ No, I don’t mean the proliferative middle management layer infesting healthcare for about as long as I’ve been working in health. I mean ‘pain management’ or ‘supported self-management.’ As ever, what pops up for me is about what, exactly, is being managed?
Is it pain? Well – not exactly. After all, pain does what it does, and if we focus on pain reduction alone just look where that gets us (Ballantyne & Sullivan, 2015; Cutler & Glaeser, 2021). And quickly, lest anyone think I’...

This post will be in two parts -- or maybe I ' ll just get to one part now and do the second part separately, we ' ll see how it goes. The first part is some empirical true facts about elections and electoral democracies, or republics if you prefer to use that term for representative systems such as ours. I don ' t want to get hung up on vocabulary. The second is philosophical -- how should we understand democracy, popular rule, We The People? How does that work and how can it work and how should it work?So, Part One. Many people assume that elections and the resulting legislative and executive (and in some states, judicia...

Political Science
I always do my best to write clearly and precisely, but it seems I don ' t always manage to get my meaning across. So let ' s try a couple of ideas again. Please read carefully, and think about what I actually write, not what you think I might think or what other people think. The First Amendment applies only to government. It constrains what government can do, it does not place any constraint of any kind on any other entity. The courts have interpreted it a bit more broadly than its literal language. If " congress shall make no law . . . " then the executive cannot have any legal authority to do what no law permits. ...

Lilly's Carelessness in Discontinuing 3 mL vials of Humalog Causes Shortages in 10 mL vials of Humalog + Unbranded Lispro
Last week, the JDRF shared newshttps://x.com/JDRF/status/1770848177354137650 in a series of three Tweets about how Eli Lilly& Company, Inc. was reporting that 10 mL vials of Humalog and the company ' s identical, unbranded (meaning Lilly sells it using the generic drug name rather than brand-name Humalog) version of Humalog known as Lilly Insulin Lispro Injection could be facing temporary lack of availability in selected locations around the country. Lilly tried to reassure everyone that it was only a temporary issue. But while Lilly complains it cannot keep up with demand for Mounjaro/Zepbound, it is having its own su...

Transparency and Data Sharing Can Also Ease Patient Burn-Out
Grace Cordovano, PhD, Founder of Enlightening Results, co-Founder of Unblock Health, and a devoted patient advocate, says that administrative burdens and failures at data sharing affect more than clinicians and administrators: These glitches in the healthcare systems also contribute to burn-out among patients and their families.
Cordovano and Colin Banas, MD, MHA, Chief Medical Officer at DrFirst, talk in this video about recent regulatory advances in data sharing and how both clinicians and patients are helped by transparency in bureaucratic areas such as prior authorization.
Cordovano says that patient access to data has...

Why South Korean resident physicians are quitting
In February 2024, the resident physicians in South Korea resigned in waves. This was not a strike; striking seemed meaningless, and the residents went right on quitting. This occurred after the Korean government promulgated health care reform plans to tackle major problems brewing under the nation’s universal health insurance system. One of the plans–to increase the medical

More on Freeze Peach
This is a topic I address from time to time, but it seems a new post is needed now because of various nonsense that ' s going on. First, let me make one thing perfectly clear, as a man we would all like to forget used to say: free speech and academic freedom are not the same. Legally, the only meaning of Free Speech ™ is the First Amendment, as interpreted by the courts. Originally it applied only to the federal government, but the 14th Amendment extended the protections of the Bill of Rights to the States, so it now applies to all government entities within the United States, and that includes your small tow n Board of ...

Ensuring Precision in Patient Identity: Modern Approaches to Master Data Management
The government and many healthcare leaders are pushing for more interoperability and data sharing in healthcare. While this is great and has the potential to make a really big impact for good on the lives of patients and potentially costs, one thing that is often missed in this discussion is high quality patient identification. This is a problem that’s made worse by not having a national patient identifier, but let’s set that topic aside for a moment and recognize that even with a national patient identifier, patient identification and patient matching is still going to be a massive challenge.
The depth of ...
