AI: Not Ready, Not Set – Go!
By KIM BELLARD
I feel like I’ve written about AI a lot lately, but there’s so much happening in the field. I can’t keep up with the various leading entrants or their impressive successes, but three essays on the implications of what we’re seeing struck me: Bill Gates’ The Age of AI Has Begun, Thomas Friedman’s Our New Promethean Moment, and You Can Have the Blue Pill or the Red Pill, and We’re Out of Blue Pills by Yuval Harari, Tristan Harris, and Aza Raskin. All three essays speculate that we’re at one of the big technological turning points in human history.
We’re not ready.

Transforming Integrated Care in the Community (TICC): blueprint
This report captures the key lessons of aproject undertaken by organisations in four European countries (UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium) to explore what is involved in taking a highly successful innovation in one national context and applying it in others. The example of Buurtzorg was chosen because of its undoubted and extraordinary success in its country of origin, the Netherlands, where it has revolutionised community-based health and care services. Its achievements - improving care, the jobs of professionals providing care, and resource use - provided the inspiration for the organisations that came together as...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 26: The RFC, Conclusion
Conclusion___________________________[1] That the CCC did not contribute to recovery isn ' t very surprising, given that its particular aim, like that of its Hoover-era predecessor, the Federal Farm Board, and of New Deal farm policies generally, was not so much promoting growth in national income as assuring U.S. farmers their " fair share " of it. Hence Henry Wallace ' s statement, in his last (1940)annual report as Secretary of the Treasury, that " Even full domestic employment. . .would not remove the need " for those programs, and the programs ' persistence long after the depression ended. Yet the " fair share " goal ...

The Ever Evolving World of Cybersecurity Threats
Technology and the way people are using it are evolving in an increasingly steady pace. Just 20 years ago cellphones were getting photo display functions for the first time and were primarily being used to talk to people. Now our phones have facial recognition software and people are using them to shoot and edit films for fun. And the world of healthcare is no different. The amount of technology used and how it is being used has skyrocketed and unfortunately, alongside it so has the amount and sophistication of cybersecurity threats.
To hear more about the current healthcare cyberattacks, we reached out to our lovely Healt...

Throw Away That Phone
By KIM BELLARD
If I were a smarter person, I’d write something insightful about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. If I were a better person, I’d write about the dire new UN report on climate change. But, nope, I’m too intrigued about Google announcing it was (again) killing off Glass.
It’s not that I’ve ever used them, or any AR (augmented reality) device for that matter. It’s just that I’m really interested in what comes after smartphones, and these seemed like a potential path. We all love our smartphones, but 16 years after Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone we should realize th...

Multitasking
This is something I don’t do especially well, especially lately for some reason. Part of the reason has to do with the workload; there is a lot happening with my full-time employer, in terms of events and operational stuff. In addition, I have a couple of side gigs that I am pretty busy with also.
The other reason is that I deal Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known as ADHD. That affects how I function. Medication helps, but not always.
I shouldn’t be this busy; I’m an old guy. But it’s keeping my reasonably young, so I shouldn’t complain.
Yesterday I sat in remotely on a meeting of th...

The Case for Expanded Shipbuilding Subsidies Remains Wanting
Colin GrabowThe United States, warns anew essay inThe Atlantic, is turning its back on the world ’s oceans with deleterious consequences for the country’s national security. While much of the piece focuses on U.S. naval power, author Jerry Hendrix also highlightsde minimis U.S. commercial shipbuilding as symptomatic of American maritime deterioration. To place the industry back on a solid footing, the former Navy captain urges the adoption of a reinvigorated subsidy regime. Past experience, however, suggests that simply throwing more money at U.S. shipbuilders is unlikely to elevate the industry beyond mediocrity. Equa...

Physicians in crisis: the battle for autonomy and happiness in a broken system
What’s one of the biggest complaints we physicians have about the current state of our jobs? It’s that we’ve lost our autonomy, that it has been taken from us by a health care system more focused on profits than on the well-being of patients and ourselves. As a physician, you know firsthand how dysfunctional health

AI in Healthcare: A Great Add-on, Not a Replacement
There has been this huge rush to implement AI wherever it can be added. And while nothing is wrong with this, it’s important that we don’t loose sight of AI being a tool and not a replacement. There are so many great things that AI can do, such as data gathering, increased pattern recognition, etc. However, it cannot fully nor successfully replace a human. A human touch is very much still needed, not only to get the AI to function as it should but in order for patients to feel comfortable.
So instead of looking for one or the other, it’s important to look for a balance. For a closer look at this balance w...
