How Automation Tech is Fixing Healthcare ’s Broken Hiring Pipeline
The following is a guest article by Dr. Kit Latham, Co-Founder and CEO at Credentially
Workforce burnout is a major problem across the US healthcare system, with approximately one in three physicians experiencing burnout at any given time, according to research. As a doctor, I’ve seen first-hand how the pressure that it places on clinicians and administrative teams can have serious knock-on impacts on organizational outcomes and patient safety.
Much has already been written about how clinician workload and patient demand can be safely reduced. But I believe that, because burnout is fundamentally a capacity problem, the f...

Multicloud Madness: The Complexity and Cost of Managing Multiple Healthcare Cloud Platforms
Many healthcare and life sciences orgs today manage multiple Cloud platforms by default. This mix of public, private and Edge Cloud architecture provides organizations with a variety of benefits, including increased flexibility. Not all applications are right for a given Cloud solution, and a multicloud infrastructure lets IT teams deploy workloads to the most appropriate best-of- breed solution.
But the multicloud approach also introduces enormous complexity. Organizations need to select and implement the right cloud infrastructure, security protocols, and data management systems. A lack of consistency in infrastructure a...

The Fed ’s Questionable CBDC Campaign
Nicholas AnthonyIn a series of Twitter threads posted onApril 12,April 21,April 27,May 2,May 9,May 16,May 24,May 30, andJune 6, the Federal Reserve tried to dispel some of the concerns that FedNow is a central bank digital currency, or CBDC. To its credit, the Federal Reserve is largely correct thatFedNow and CBDCs are distinct issues. However, the Federal Reserve left out an important part of the story in the campaign: its authority to issue a CBDC.Maybe the Federal Reserve ’s framing of the issue was simply an oversight rather than an intentional effort to mislead anyone. Yet considering it has been quoted in the...

Sunday Sermonette: Render unto Artaxerxes
The main point of Chapter 6 is one that has been emphasized repeatedly in Ezrah/Nehemiah. The Jews have no ambition to restore their independence. Nehemiah is avowedly a servant of Artaxerxes, and he treats the claim by hostile neighbors that he ' s planning to rebel and declare a new Jewish kingdom as libelous. So, the idea of a Jewish state was abandoned, in fact forcibly rejected, long before the creation of rabbinical Judaism and the Roman diaspora. I will just make one more observation, that a Persian diaspora continued even after the restoration of the Temple. We ' ll encounter this in the next, very curious, Book of...

A New Underground Market in E ‑Cigarettes Will Soon Begin Flourishing in Australia
Jeffrey A. SingerWriting in the Australian journalThe Quadranta year and a half ago, I criticized the Australian government ’s plan to prohibit residents from purchasing e‑cigarettes without first getting a state‐licensed health care practitioner’s permission slip (aka, a prescription). I wrote:It makes no sense to require medical permission slips for consenting adults to ingest nicotine via e ‑cigarettes when doing so through combustible tobacco requires no such official nod. It makes even less sense when substances of equal or greater addictive potential are legally available without a prescription. ...

Wednesday Bible Study: Miscegenation
Formatting problem with the previous post is fixerated, I hope. So, Ezra discovers that the Jews have been intermarrying with other people of the area and he completely loses his marbles. He pulls out his hair and beard, and can ' t even manage to stand up for hours. Then he finally pulls it together, berates the people, and convinces them to expel their gentile wives and children, which they do without, apparently, a murmur of protest. Indeed the Torah, and notably Deuteronomy, which was actually written late in the First Temple period, does forbid intermarriage. But there is some tension about this in the Tanak...

Digital Detox: What is it, and why do you need it?
Our attitudes towards the digital world are very contradictory. Many researches show that most of us consider the Internet the best source of information and knowledge. Moreover, online presence increases the chances of finding a job and facilitates most everyday activities. Almost 80% of teenagers develop their interests and passions in the digital world. 60.2% feel calm and happy when using the web. However, this is only one face of the digital world.
On the other hand, 2 out of 3 Internet users declare they consider themselves addicted to technology. Over half of Americans spend between 3 to 5 hours on their devices ...

In an Ideal World, How Much Would We Spend on Health Care? – Part 1
BY BEN WHEATLEY
We have heard it said before, and it is no longer shocking to say, that in 2021 the United States spent $4.3 trillion on health care. To put this gaudy number in some perspective, we measure it as a share of our economy and report that health care comprised 18.3% of our gross domestic product. CMS projects that health care will approach 20% of GDP in coming years—one-fifth of everything we buy and sell in this country.
In a recent report, the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value said that “it is unclear what percentage of GDP would represent the ideal level to devote to healt...

We are Still Learning the Lesson Charles Babbage Taught Us in 1821
Back in 1821 when Charles Babbage introduced the world to his Difference Engine, one of the world’s first mechanical computers, he taught us that bad input = bad output. This is a lesson we are still learning today in healthcare. As we leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and large language models, we would do well to remember this lesson before relying too heavily on the output of these fantastical technologies.
