How Can Health IT Help Reform the CDC?
This article summarizes their responses. Paths to Interoperability A recent article exposes the woeful silo-ing of public health: Data often has to be faxed and re-entered into new systems manually. I wonder whether the path to complete integration requires adopting a single, worldwide, FHIR-based standard (which is time-consuming and probably requires jettisoning old database systems) or programming these systems to translate data from one format to another. I heard details about problems with COVID-19 lab reporting at a state level from Dr. Paulo Pinho, vice president & medical director of innovation at Availity Clin...

Hey Nurse, Got Resistance?
Have you ever found yourself resisting change? Has your nursing career stalled because you ' re afraid of taking a risk or doing something different?

David J. BierSince 1990, the executive branch has had the authority from Congress to provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to people already in the United States who are from countries in which an “ongoing armed conflict within the state" exists. A bipartisan group in Congress wrote a letter to the Biden administration requesting that it designate Ukraine for TPS, and then they also proposed  legislation torequire it to use its authority.Finally, the administrationhas relented (with the full details still to be filled in).
