Looking forward to speaking shortly at the @gs1 Global Forum on the important role of healthcare in addressing climate change and environmental sustainability.

My deepest condolences to my colleagues and friends in the UK on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She was truly exceptional. God bless the Queen.

@DrvanTilburg So good to know you are ok.

Good morning to me! Tip: If it sounds like a train is getting in your house, start running! Glad to be unscathed as it entered in my bedroom.

@UKreysa As Audrey Hepburn said, "Paris is always a good idea" and so are @gs1 standards... not to mention getting to see you and other dear friends in person!

It will be wonderful to meet again in person, exchange experiences, network and learn from each other - to improve patient safety!

@CoherenceMed @ShereeseMayMba @seattlechildren @InterSystems Not the same without you... and your little one. I guess he is not so little anymore. I hope you are both well!

@conwaycomments @ShereeseMayMba @seattlechildren @InterSystems How is it?

50% of @seattlechildren patients on Medicaid, with limited connectivity and old technology, e.g., Android V8 which is no longer supported. CIO Zafar Chaudry says digital solutions must be able to support their needs. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Nurses spend 1/3rd of their time documenting clinical care and interacting with technology, leaving no time to put pieces of data together to see and act on early warning signs. Traci Reed, Baxter #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

@janoldenburg @EvanKirstel @InterSystems Absolutely critical to include patient preferences and protection. More complicated but so is healthcare.

@conwaycomments @EvanKirstel @InterSystems Principles for such data, privacy protection for individuals, individual control over how their data is shared and with whom, standards for formatting and sharing such data

With 350,000 + digital health apps out there, how do we make sure we are harnessing the collective intelligence to help us drive better health for all, vs. simply generating profits for individual companies and further fragmentation. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Improving healthcare is not about hiring a chief digital or innovation officer, but rather understanding what problem you are trying to solve and who is impacted, and then designing solutions in a manner that is meaningful for all parties. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

@seattlechildren CIO Zafar Chaudry says the trend toward chief digital officers led to introduction of many new applications into hospitals, and a big challenge for CIOs to get them to work together. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

In healthcare, we like the bright shiny object that will solve all our problems, w/o asking ourselves, what problem are we trying to solve. David Dobbs, Hawaii Medical Service Assoc, says still basic problems (e.g., prior auth) that need fixed. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Lack of standardization in #heatlhcaretechnology systems a challenge. When @seattlechildren moved from Cerner to Epic, very difficult b/c the fields did not match. Hard for providers that have to provide good data to payors to get paid. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Need to look at healthcare decisions on more than just pure profit and loss. When @CVSHealth took tobacco out of stores, it was a $2 billion hit, but it has supported their ability to more effectively support and deliver healthcare. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

How do we generate value from data in healthcare to improve heath? @seattlechildren CIO Zafar Chaudry says they ask both physicians and patients what info is valuable to them. What do they want to see, what is not relevant? #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

@roscrow4 Good for transportation; good for health; good for you. I could probably use a rail strike and a bike ride!

No rail strike problem in the Vale as the old bike makes a first appearance for a few years and the legs stand up to the challenge……. Just 🙄🙄👍

Doctors and patients often have different views on what is a quality outcome. New research shows 88% of consumers want healthcare to be compassionate and personalized. An important factor for clinicians to consider. Eduardo Conrado, MD, Ascension. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Why can't someone access a hospital #digitalfrontdoor until they are a patient/sick. Why not engage with your consumers anytime they want...before they are sick? #disruptioninhealthcare Don Woodlock, head of healthcare solutions, @InterSystems #GlobalSummit22

Ridiculousness in healthcare: Hospital will charge you $10 and mail you your patient record. What if your bank did that with your account info? Don Woodlock, head of healthcare solutions. @InterSystems #GlobalSummit22 #healthcaredisruption

Ready for the opening session with @InterSystems CEO Terry Ragon #GlobalSummit22
