Healthy Technology: December 2008
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Friday, December 19, 2008. Warning - Propellerhead Update - Twitter. Alright, I decided to try Twitter out. Inspired by John Halamka's. I setup a Twitterfeed. Account too. The goofy part is that I'm twitterfeeding. Posts from this blog to my twitter account and then using a blogger widget to display my latest tweets at the bottom of my sidebar to the right. This might be fascinating. On top of that I'm also twitterfeeding. Status updates to twitter too. Management Twitter - ...

Healthy Technology: November 2008
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Here are just a very few things that I am thankful for this year. The continued health of my wife and children, our rich opportunities and wonderful life together. My family and friends with whom I have had chances to grow closer this past year. My work, colleagues and our mission. The land that we live in, its rivers, woods, fish, birds and the peace it brings. Have a great Thanksgiving. Sunday, November 16, 2008.

Healthy Technology: Back in the (Blogging) Saddle
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2009/02/back-in-blogging-saddle.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Back in the (Blogging) Saddle. After a week and a half of intensity at work and intensity at home I'm about to get back in the saddle again. If you have for some reason followed my twitter. So a colleague of mine gave me a few articles to read recently and I took the opportunity in a longish large meeting to scan them and it spawned a few ideas. An article on the effect of compensation on collaboration (negative in most cases) got cross pollinated.

Healthy Technology: Money, Medicine and Metrics
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2009/02/money-medicine-and-metrics.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Money, Medicine and Metrics. A colleague of mine shared and article from the New England Journal of Medicine called "Money and the Changing Culture of Medicine" by Pamela Hartzband. MD, and Jerome Groopman. Perhaps change is in the air though. Word on the street is that the National Quality Forum. Measures will go away but perhaps pay for performance will start to focus on actually changing the. We should be careful though. Just as paying phy...

Healthy Technology: March 2009
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Sunday, March 22, 2009. The Speed of Light is Obsolete. The healthcare IT provisions of the ARRA have a lot of dollars attached to them. Elligibility for the payments starts in 2011 to the tune of 2M/hospital (acute care) and 18K/physician (ambulatory). Elligibility for the money is based on the definition of "meaningful use" of an EMR and that's interesting because "meaningful use" is yet to be defined. Now we just need a roadmap for physician adoption. Friday, March 6, 2009.

Healthy Technology: January 2009

Healthcare IT makes me think. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Wordle - Check this out. Wordle automatically draws a picture of all of the words on a site, biggest word being the most common. Here's this blog's wordle for this moment in time. Apparently I still lean towards being a technology guy. Hmmm. IT - It's Not About The Bits Anymore. She's going to be great at it. Second, I was recently at a clinic, wearing my operational excellence hat, doing some value stream mapping. And other pundits forsee. And L...

Healthy Technology: A Message from a Sponsor
http://blueberrytech.blogspot.com/2009/07/message-from-your-sponsor.html
Healthcare IT makes me think. Monday, July 20, 2009. A Message from a Sponsor. Here are 10 things I've learned so far from sponsoring three really large infrastructure projects this year. Infrastructure is only exciting to IT people unless it reduces cost or downtime. A well planned change that is executed nearly flawlessly is almost. Like poetry OR when it goes well it goes really well. At the beginning of a project are nothing like the ones that you get towards the end. After these programs are done!

Healthcare IT makes me think. Thursday, April 2, 2009. Recently I was asked to review an article about IBM and the Mayo Clinic's recent decision to release natural language processing or NLP. Code to the open source community. And comment on how likely the open source development model and delivery mechanisms like Software as a Service ( SaaS. Or Service Oriented Architecture ( SOA. Will become the preferred models for delivering healthcare. IT solutions. I've pasted my response. And know that it's not a...
