I'd like to play devil's advocate, here. Kirstan's mCharts web site says that patients can enter their health info into the mChart app either by downloading records directly from existing EHRs OR by sitting down and entering info manually.  I've signed ...

Rather than just complaining, let me suggest an improvement to the problem of information asymmetry modeled on how we deal with nutrition data. People have a hard time telling how a given food will affect their health in the long run, so we introduced ...

I'm just catching up on this thread.  The actual answer, @Brenda Denzler , is that there is no way to know who got your data.   FB is being totally disingenuous about this, with Congress and others.  In his testimony Zuck was asked how many data points ...

Nice ~ 30 minute interview of Rob Lamberts by David Harlow, covering the EHR, direct primary care, and some thoughts about the future of medicine. Not much about llamas, though. (In joke for those who know Rob.) ------------------------------ The chief ...

Adults may act out, too. Not because they are refusing to BE adults, but because they are ensnared in the consequences an ACE(s) in their past. Brenda ------Original Message------ Aces- Adverse Childhood Events are obviously out of the child's ...

@Adrian Gropper , nice, usable framework.  Very concise and a time saver.  Made the difference between being able to contribute a well thought and usable response and not.  Thank you for sharing. I believe that the comment period closes tomorrow.  This ...

Not my favorite thing to seemingly self-promote, but thought this group would appreciate learning and knowing about these two things and might appreciate the potential to improve participatory medicine in this area of cardiac care (esp rehab). 1. Cardiac ...

Sorry for the tardiness of this response on publishing. In October, 2018 (OK: October is before November, but I'm not sure I mentioned it), I wrote in a public forum about an article behind a firewall, and done with colleagues, about evidence for DTC ...

Hi Brenda,  Thank you for your important volunteer work. You are correct that many decisions have been made before entering hospice care. The DNR process is very complex and applies to a specific institution (hospital, long term care, and so on). There ...

Lynda, I love that you want to work on this issue of what's board work and what's not!  (It's all volunteer, though, so we need a better differentiator than "board or volunteer.") A core existential issue for this society especially, IMO, is participation ...

Just got off the phone with the SPM Policy Committee, and at Vera Rulon's suggestion will offer some background on Federal privacy/data protection legislation in the hopper for 2019. Federal privacy legislation has the potential to have huge impact on ...
