What Do The Incredibles and Educators Have in Common? In our latest Better Learning Podcast episode, we dive into The Incredibles (2004) and uncover powerful insights for educators. Just like Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl face lawsuits that restrict their powers, teachers often feel held back by red tape and policies that limit their ability to innovate in the classroom. We explore how educators can break free from these constraints, unlocking their creativity, adaptability, and empathy to make a bigger impact. Plus, we break down fun film moments that mirror real-life school experiences.   Takeaways: Everyone wants to be special and normal at the same time Teachers aren't the only adults that can have an impact Everyone has their own superpowers Different is okay   About Mercedes Johnson: In 1995, Mercedes Ramirez Johnson narrowly survived a commercial airplane crash that killed 160 people, including her parents.

Medical residency in a rural area is one of the key influencing factors for providers to stay and continue practicing in a rural area. This week on Rural Health Leadership Radio we are talking to Yoana Cruz, Clerkship and Sub-Internship Coordinator in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. We talk with Yoana about the growing need for more providers in rural healthcare, and how she is bringing awareness to the need with up-and-coming medical students and working to connect those students with rural residencies.  “Although I may not be the person that gives direct care for patients, I hope to encourage medical professionals at an early stage of their career to provide the best quality care for patients.”  – Yoana Cruz Born and raised in southwest Kansas, Yoana Cruz grew up in a welcoming community, full of hard-working immigrant families from more than thirty countries. Despite its rich heritage and tolerant culture, this agrarian city has many health disparities due to its growing number of immigrants and political refugees. The regional healthcare delivery system is slow to react to the complex medical and social needs of these diverse groups. Yoana's own experiences with barriers to utilizing the healthcare delivery system as a child of immigrants have informed her perspective on health equity and motivated her to pursue mission-driven work in healthcare administration.  Yoana has 6+ years of project planning experience in the healthcare setting while previously working at Kearny County Hospital, Cerner Corporation, and now at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She is a 1st generation academic student where she received her BBA from Fort Hays State University and recently graduated in May 2024 in her Master of Health Services Administration from the University of Kansas Medical Center. In her spare time, she holds professional development workshops for undergraduate students pursuing business or healthcare-related careers.

For anyone working in the oncology field, a highly anticipated change set to take place will be one of the biggest transitions in recent years. Last year, it was announced that the Oncology Care Model (OCM) will be phased out and succeeded with the Enhanced Oncology Model (EOM). This new model will go into effect in July 2023 and help improve care for cancer patients.

Meet John Glaser, Ph.D.:John Glaser, Ph.D. is an Executive in Resident at Harvard Medical School and recently published “Advanced Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare.” Previously, Dr. Glaser joined Cerner Corporation as an Executive Senior Advisor, due to their acquisition of Siemens Health Services, where he was CEO. Prior to that, he served as the CIO for Partners HealthCare, now known as Mass General Brigham. Dr. Glaser sits on multiple boards of directors including the Scottsdale Institute, NCQA, and Forbes Health Advisory Board. Key Insights:John Glaser is a thought leader in the field of healthcare IT. He explores what leaders must know as AI becomes more prevalent in the healthcare industry.  Defining AI. Dr. Glaser defines AI as a machine that perceives its environment, and based on that perception, takes steps to maximize chances of success. One type of AI is deep learning, which is when a machine is fed large amounts of data and can then output an interpretation of new data.Data Challenges. AI rests on data. Data may need to be cleaned before use, adding extra steps. Data may be skewed or biased, potentially introducing ethical concerns. Healthcare adds an additional challenge of validation as doctors don't always agree on diagnosis given the same data. Implementation. Dr. Glaser recommends the CIO or CDO put together a multidisciplinary AI committee that evaluates potential AI products and selects a certain number to pilot. The committee can define who is accountable for conducting and tracking the pilot, but ultimately the entire C-suite is accountable for AI support and implementation.  Relevant Links:Check out Dr. Glaser's book “Advanced Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare”Check out articles written by Dr. Glaser in the Harvard Business Review

Health equity is an important concept, but it's talked about sparing amongst fitness professionals. Our guest in episode 77, Dr. Daphne Bascom, feels strongly it's time for that to change.

This episode's guest is Dave Navarro, Senior Director of Data Science for Harmony Healthcare IT, a data management and lifecycle solutions firm. Dave joins the Dish on Health IT host, Ken Kleinberg, and co-host, Jocelyn Keegan,to talk 21st Century Cures Act and the change in the definition of “EHI”, critical components of plans to purge, archive, or transition data to new platforms, and how to marry data in various formats and versions of CCDA and FHIR. Ken kicked off the episode by asking co-host, Jocelyn Keegan, to briefly introduce herself and to share what she's looking forward to learning from today's guest.Jocelyn responded by explaining that she is the payer-practice lead at POCP, devoted to positive change and building/getting stuff done. She went on to say that her focus is on interoperability, prior authorizations, and the convergence of tech, standards, and product strategy. She also serves as the program manager for the HL7 Da Vinci Project. Da Vinci started as a conceptual idea of emulating the great work produced by the argonaut project but with a focus on payers and providers, value-based care, and clinical data interoperability and has become likely the most expansive of the FHIR Accelerators to date, focused on payer-provider collaboration.Ken then asked guest, Dave Navarro to briefly introduce himself and to include his professional background and journey to Harmony Health.Dave reiterated that he is the Senior Director of Data Science at Harmony and that he started his career about 22 years ago in the health IT world. He explained that he started by configuring EHRs and building clinical integrations for financial systems and clinical systems for Cerner Corporation.Dave explained that early on he had a lot of exposure to different data formats and files and that he's been spending the last 17-plus years in the health information exchange world. He landed at Harmony Health to work on the interoperability of legacy data and the legacy data solutions Harmony provides.Ken asked Dave to expound a little more on the work Harmony Health is doing.Dave explained that Harmony helps their clients' archive data from a legacy system or in some cases transition data from a legacy system to a new system.  If data are archived, they must still be in a format that can be managed, accessed, and consumed to inform clinical decisions.Harmony offers the Health Data Archivers solution, which includes extraction services. Clients can also earmark data that they'd like to have posted in their new system.Ken then shifted the conversation by asking how the industry as a whole or different stakeholders in particular view 21st Century Cures differently and whether Dave wishes there was a perspective the industry would share about how they approach compliance.Dave started by admitting that he hasn't read the entire 21st Century's Cures Act but has familiarized himself with the portions related to interoperability. He shared that he believes this legislation is a good thing. Dave pointed out that while it was signed back in 2016, the industry is just now seeing the results.He explained that he believes Cures has pushed the industry towards the adoption of content standards such as USCDI and transmission standards like HL7 CDA and now FHIR. Dave then went on to talk about the data blocking provision explaining that nobody wants to be a data blocker. This portion of the Act helps open the data stream and make data available where EHRs and ultimately patients can view it.Concerning what perspective he wishes the industry would share, Dave explained that it's about FHIR. He realizes that FHIR is a little bit scary to some, but that the industry should be starting with FHIR. Dave explains that one reason he believes this is the relative ease to understand and use FHIR compared to CDA, which has been a bit challenging to figure out. He went on to say that with FHIR, someone can study an implementation guide for an hour and pretty much figure it out. Dave also pointed out the FHIR US Core data set as being a good specification.Dave then went on to explain that while FHIR isn't an architecture guide it can be used to help make architecture decisions when an implementer is getting started. He added that FHIR builds on the work the industry has done on CDA and takes the lessons learned and fixes a lot of what the industry was frustrated by with CDA.Ken asked Jocelyn to share her view of Cures based on her day-to-day work as program manager of Da Vinci Project focused on payer-provider data exchange. Jocelyn expressed that everything Dave said is so incredibly important. From the Da Vinci perspective, she explained that there is an ongoing dialogue about the intersection of and confusion about the year-end USCDI V3 and FHIR R4 capabilities along with everything in the electronic health information (EHI) requirement.  Joce expressed that this is a great example where folks are looking for additional guidance before making new investments. She explained that most EHRs have a big lift to meet that requirement in a meaningful way. Joce continued by saying that FHIR alone isn't necessarily going to get the industry to the semantic interoperability that it's striving for but that if the industry would pick up the FHIR implementation guides in addition to the more advanced workflow guides, the industry would be making progress toward where it wants to be.The group spoke briefly about the expansion of the definition of EHI to expand outside of USCDI V1 and that many stakeholders are not ready to meet the October deadline. Dave pointed out that ultimately every journey starts with one step, and everyone just needs to pick a place to start which ideally would probably be USCDI V3, and start the work.Jocelyn pointed out that by nature stakeholders under regulation want to achieve certification She went on to say that investments were already made in CDA & CCDA and there's lots of CCDA data moving around. She went on to add that the big question is how the industry is going to manage the collision and misalignment of data formats. And how will the industry decide what needs to be codified, and cleansed and what's OK to remain unstructured? There are several stakeholders in the industry that have stood up to say that it's important that data created today needs to be usable and shareable going forward.Dave shared the experience he's had working in the historical archive world. He explained that for the most part, he encounters more organizations simply interested in checking the regulatory and requirements box, but that Cures pushes toward data being structured and codified simply by setting the expectation that patients will be able to access all their data which means that data, even unstructured data isn't going away. He went on to say that even if only minimum pieces of data or data from specific timeframes are migrated to a new system, archives must be able to be queried so a patient can access that data whether it's in the current EHR system or not.  The perpetuity of data required by the info-blocking rule must change the industry's mindset.Ken asked Dave to share some of the surprising or challenging questions from Harmony clients or notable projects. Dave explained that sometimes clients can share their entire database at the start of a project and this is ideal so the Harmony team can go through everything, and it makes extraction a little easier. What is being seen in many of these projects is that as the team goes through and looks for NDC codes, signature lines, problem descriptions, or allergy lists, the data isn't codified. This information will be there as text. For this data to be queried from any archive, it's got to be codified.Dave added that they use the specifications from USCDI and cross-reference them with FHIR US Core. Dave continued to explain in more complex detail some of the data types and mapping that occur to ensure the archived data can be queried effectively in the future. Dave pointed out that as painful as it sounds, he has been through every single element in the FHIR specification for US Core. He expressed how well put together US Core is and it's critical to how they do their work.Ken then asked about how consent is handled during these archiving projects. This led to a robust conversation with Dave sharing that consents get archived if they are found, however the most recent consent on record in the current EHR would likely be applied to how any data pulled from the archive would be shared.The group went on to discuss the complexity of consent and the importance of establishing and maintaining eConsent in a scalable way. Jocelyn pointed out that through the discussions she's had with stakeholders and through her personal experiences, the industry needs to solve this so that patients can manage their consents in a secure, central place so they can update and change their consents based on their changing lives.Jocelyn then shifted the conversation toward the nature of adoption. She explained that she's heard some express resistance to FHIR because they perceive a push to rip and replace everything with FHIR. Jocelyn shared that she and most other industry leaders aren't proponents of that rip-and-replace concept but rather an incremental adoption approach where you adopt and use FHIR in the use cases it can best support and that FHIR can co-exist and interact with other standards. Jocelyn asked Dave to share his thoughts on FHIR adoption.Dave responded by saying that as much as he's been talking about FHIR, he doesn't yet have anyone with FHIR capabilities coming to query and retrieve data. Dave explained that what he has seen are stakeholders on the eHealth Exchange are part of Commonwell and they're familiar with exchanging data via those networks primarily using CDA formats. We start with where our clients are now but it's important to have FHIR capability built in so multiple formats are supported. He went on to say that in some instances you may have an instance where a FHIR API is used to request data in a CDA document. The industry certainly isn't going to be purely FHIR anytime soon if ever.As is tradition, Ken asked Dave to close out the podcast by sharing what he would like to see from the industry.Dave joked that as cliché as it must sound, interoperability is a journey and not a destination. The industry isn't going to fix everything by some policy deadline, and we aren't going to solve everything with just FHIR alone.Dave went on to say that the industry can learn a lot about how to architect their data by examining these standards to help guide those decisions. While FHIR is not intended as a data model, it is a good specification that can inform a well-formed database.Ken thanked guest, Dave Navarro, and co-host Jocelyn Keegan before reminding listeners that they can find and subscribe to The Dish on Health IT podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or whatever platform listeners use to pick up podcasts and that videos of episodes can be found on the POCP YouTube Channel.

First, the big businesses with play outside the scope of their defined area of competitiveness. Second, there isn't a decision framework for how leaders should think about healthcare at an economy level. And third is underappreciated role of Washington, D.C. as a top regulator and payer.When You Create Value, Good Things Happen. Don notes that sometimes new founders are naïve about healthcare. He emphasizes the importance of both adding value inside the current system, while also not giving up on the bigger vision of change.What's Exciting? Don is focused on provider networks. Medicare Advantage and the commercial space have been underappreciated, and he predict there will be a lot of movement in the provider network space. Additionally, he predicts there will be billion-dollar businesses created around secondary data use in the future.This episode is hosted by Julie Yoo.

Meet the Guests:This episode features three healthcare leaders. John Glaser, Ph.D. is an Executive in Residence at Harvard Medical School, and currently serves on multiple boards including HL7, the Scottsdale Institute, Wellsheet, Relatient, and NCQA. Kevin Sharer is a senior lecturer at Harvard University Business School and is the former Chairman and CEO of Amgen. He currently serves on the board for Allied Minds and the US Naval Academy Foundation. Kevin previously sat on the boards of directors for Chevron, 3M, and Northrop Grumman. Mindy Mount is a board member of The Learning Care Group, Cerner Corporation, Zayo Group, Group Nine Acquisition Corporation, and Technicolor, where she is also Vice Chairman.Key Insights:Each leader gave slightly different answers; however, there are two key takeaways:Relationships. It is important for board members to have a good relationship among themselves and with the CEO. Teamwork facilitates many of the boards functions such as upholding a company's vision, reaching consensus on strategy decisions, and monitoring and evaluating the CEO.Advisors Rather Than Managers. Board members advise rather than execute. This separation allows board members to act as outside observers and grants management flexibility in decision making and implementation.

Meet John Glaser, Ph.D.:John Glaser, Ph.D. is an Executive in Resident at Harvard Medical School. Previously, Dr. Glaser joined Cerner Corporation as an Executive Senior Advisor, due to their acquisition of Siemens Health Services, where he was CEO.

Dr. Glaser sits on the board of directors for the Scottsdale Institute, NCQA, and Forbes Health Advisory Board.Key Insights:John Glaser is a thought leader in the field of healthcare IT. He has decades of experience and has watched the field grow as well as being instrumental in its development. Collaboration. A recent article proposed moving the IT function under business units; however, Dr. Glaser sees that as a risky response to a performance problem. Better performance can be achieved through collaboration: when an IT group and business group work together, teach each other, and hold each other mutually accountable. (14:52)Interoperability. All industries face limits in interoperability. The best way to achieve interoperability is to focus on a limited set of transactions, clear business cases, and create a body that brings all players together to refine the details. (25:32)The Consumer. In a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, Dr. Glaser dives into 5 key principles to improve the patient experience with digital technology. One of those principles is to remember that patients are consumers. Healthcare systems need to provide great medical care as well as a good consumer experience.

"Is your health care organization reeling from a bad EHR implementation? There have been rumblings from hospital leadership and congressional committees about the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospitals' implementation of the Cerner Corporation electronic health record (EHR) replacing the VistA EHR. The $10 million EHR overhaul has been controversial since the staggered rollout started in Spokane, Washington. One report noted that months after the go-live, fewer users knew how to operate the system well. From the perspective of an outside informaticist, such frustration can be multifactorial. The typical issues are made worse by the COVID-19 hospital restrictions on normal hospital operations. However, many of these issues could have been mitigated by offering expanded in-person expert support to hospital staff supported by virtual technical assistance." Afua Aning is a physician informaticist. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "How to recover from a bad electronic health records implementation."

On this episode of Frontline Innovators Brett Broadrick, Senior Organizational Change Consultant at Cerner Corporation joins host Justin Lake to talk change management!   Change causes a lot of anxiety and frustration. But--just like gravity--we can't fight it. We can leverage it, and we can know how to work with it, but we know that technology is ultimately going to change frontline workers' experiences. Instead of glossing over this reality, what can we do with this reality? What can we do for the frontline worker? Change management doesn't erase the transition a company goes through when implementing change, but it can shorten it and shallow the curve.     Takeaways    The biggest challenge facing the deskless workforce: sacrificing quality for efficiency How a company can be a “change architect”  Why you must not leave your frontline workers out of the planning process Change management and the William Bridges transition model What is ADKAR and where does training fall in this process Pathways to recovery are numerous, but they all boil down to the same change management methodology in the way that our brains work   Links   LinkedIn: brett broadrick 1 Company Website: https://www.cerner.com Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cerner-corporation/ IBM Study - making-change-work Bridges Transition Model: https://wmbridges.com/about/what-is-transition/   Ways to Tune In:   Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2f4ecd92-6468-4769-b0bf-254e236510b7/FRONTLINE-INNOVATORS  Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontline-innovators/id1572329402 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/29m3wnK8pbFjdSvJ9wjmyS Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/frontline-innovators Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnJvbnRsaW5laW5ub3ZhdG9ycy5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw YouTube - Full video - https://youtu.be/LAOcY2q88v8

Cerner Corporation, Q1 2021 Earnings Call, May 05, 2021

United Air Ambulance LLC v. Cerner Corporation

Cerner Corporation will provide life insurers access to 54M+ patient records via MIB. Outraged? But before we do that, let's check out a few lines from the article to figure out who we should be outraged at.FTAMIB was already offering access to patient records via Epic and Meditech, said the company.  MIB's EHR partnerships aim to allow life insurers to accelerate policy underwriting for applicants who give express consent, according to the company's website.  The new partnership follows Cerner's announcement this past month that it was collaborating with New York Life to provide secure access to EHRs with patient consent.Just a day later, Cerner's EHR competitor Epic announced that it had entered the "next phase" of its connectivity collaboration with Humana, geared toward streamlining prior authorization and claims processing.------I think a question to consider is who controls the medical record and in this case the patient has to give consent. So I guess we should be outraged at the patients. Wait?#healthcare #healthIT #cio #cmio #interoperability #chime #himss #medicalrecordshttps://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/cerner-will-provide-life-insurers-access-54m-patient-records-mib

Cerner and NY Life Deal, Good or Evil?  Seemed like a good topic for a show.FTAElectronic health record vendor Cerner announced on Wednesday that it was collaborating with New York Life to provide secure access to EHRs.The partnership represents a move into the life insurance industry from Cerner Corporation, aimed at accelerating underwriting decisions and simplifying the application process. The collaboration aims to support New York Life Insurance Company in accessing hospitals' EHRs in near-real time, with patient consent, according to the companies.Another goal is to make it easier for individuals to apply for life insurance, while also easing the administrative burden on healthcare providers. -----I'm always looking for two things when I read these agreements.  Who directs the sharing action and does benefit accrue to the patient? In the case of Surveillance companies they use and share the information without my knowledge in most cases and the benefit accrues to them in the form a Trillion dollar valuations.I don't see that here.  I see a partnership that is facilitating patient directed interoperability with value accruing to me the patient as well as others.  #healthcare #healthIT #cio #cmio #interoperabilityhttps://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/cerner-makes-moves-life-insurance-game

Healthcare Interoperability In this episode of the LTC Heroes Podcast, Scott Stuewe, President and CEO of DirectTrust, shares his insight on improving interoperability for the healthcare industry and LTC facilities. He describes the current approaches to interoperability, what needs to change, and the ongoing challenges the healthcare system faces in this regard. Scott points out that the LTC industry is behind in their interoperability efforts due to facilities not being obligated to integrate these kinds of solutions. It's also because EHR vendors previously haven't been building interoperability capabilities for these facilities. Components of an Ideal Interoperability Solution He outlines the steps LTC facilities can take to enhance interoperability, from implementing simple inbox solutions to more complex integrations. Scott talks about the work at DirectTrust and how they're able to create a trusted information exchange ecosystem. He explains that an ideal interoperability channel contains efficient and curated referrals, organized notifications, streamlined workflows, and enhanced usability. He closes with how DirectTrust plans to create differentiation in the messages their network handles to help information receivers behave differently for the purpose of more LTC interoperability success. Learn more and sign up to be notified about future episodes at LTCHeroes.com Rapid Fire Q/A What valuable or actionable advice do you expect we'll cover in today's chat? Scott: I'm really hoping people understand that there are really inexpensive, quick, and easy ways to achieve interoperability for long-term care organizations. What is one lesser-known book, newsletter, or industry resource that you recommend I go to for a better understanding of the long-term care industry? Scott: Jerry Seelig's Newsletter called ‘Revitalize.' Name one mentor or influencer in your life that has inspired you for the work that you do in the long-term care industry? Scott: I had the pleasure of working for the founder of Cerner Corporation, Neil Patterson. I found him very remarkable in terms of visibility to see where the industry was going, and actually to influence where the industry would go. If you were to start all over again in interoperability today, knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your younger self? Scott: I would just have to tell myself to relax and be patient.

There are no assets to be auctioned off.” – Kevin McArdle 12:22 - “Buy-and-hold is a strategy for us, it’s not a religion.” – Kevin McArdle 19:04 - “Being burned once or twice are always good lessons. Making mistakes are always good lessons. Working has really taught me more than just sitting in a classroom and learning about business.” – Kevin McArdle 23:30 - “There’s this odd segm

Manufacturing is known as one of the largest spreaders of COVID.

It's been a few months since the Veterans Affairs Department signed a 10-year contract for a new electronic health record with Cerner Corporation. It looks like it might take 180 years to finish it. Some members of Congress say they have more questions than answers at this point about those plans. VA officials tried to reassure lawmakers the costs and schedule won't blow out of control, but members still say VA math seems "fuzzy." Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain.

The Veterans Affairs Department's $10 billion contract with Cerner Corporation for a new electronic health record is the biggest IT contract in its history. It's why House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Phil Roe (R-Tenn.) decided to form a special subcommittee to oversee the project. He appointed two of the committee's youngest members to lead the new subcommittee, both of whom are veterans themselves. Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) is the chairman of the new House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Technology Modernization. He told Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko about his plans for oversight of VA's electronic health record and other IT initiatives.

The Veterans Affairs Department is wrapping up negotiations with Cerner Corporation for a new electronic health record. It will be a 10-year contract, and VA wants to get the project off the ground quickly. It wants to follow the Defense Department's own implementation path. Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko tells Federal Drive with Tom Temin VA will need some start-up money from Congress to get moving.
