Kim's inspiring journey from a direct support professional to a dedicated nurse highlights passion, determination, and the importance of mentorship. Along the way, an appreciation for the power of data analytics and its impact has emerged.  Her diverse healthcare experiences and academic achievements showcase resilience and commitment. Listen to learn how her story exemplifies the impactful role of data analytics in improving patient care and outcomes in healthcare."Deciding to become a nurse was challenging but incredibly rewarding. I embraced every opportunity to grow. My journey taught me that dedication and support can lead to meaningful impacts in patient care." – Kim LeakKimberly Leak BSN, RNInfection PreventionistKimberly Leak has been a registered nurse for over 4 years and resides in New York City. She began her registered nursing career during the COVID pandemic, where she had to simultaneously learn crisis nursing and the basic nursing skills of a new graduate. After a year as a staff nurse in Suffolk County, NY, Kimberly embarked upon travel nursing, completing assignments at University of Virginia, as well as assignments in Spokane, WA; Columbia, SC and Buffalo NY. She briefly worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, but resigned due to unsafe and substandard working conditions, which ultimately culminated in a nurses' strike. During her course as a travel nurse, Kimberly noticed disparities amongst the electronic medical records utilized at her various assignments. This is what ultimately sparked her interest in health informatics. She has experience with various electronic medical records systems. She currently is a nursing home infection preventionist—a job that requires a lot of data collection and analyzation.  Kimberly wants to use her experience in the nursing home to improve resident outcomes via improved health informatics in the long term care setting. Subscribe to our podcast, and leave a reviewConnect with us on Instagram, FaceBook, Twitter , and LinkedInhttps://eima-inc.com/lets-talk-small-data@letstalksmalldatapodMusic credit: Yung Kartz

I'm searching on my browser for solutions to my too-slow-responding Bluetooth mouse. In moments, YouTube feeds me shorts about solving Mac problems. I'm following a teen mental health Twitter chat, and my TikTok feed shows threads about mental health apps. How do they know? I'm getting personal comments about my mental health. My mental health is mostly good. Who else will know? Do I care? I live my life out loud. I don't share what I wouldn't want on a billboard, which, for me, is almost everything. When is that unsafe? When would I be embarrassed? I'm no longer looking for work, so I don't care. Who can access my data? What should I share? What does privacy even mean? How does privacy impact the need for connection? Isn't privacy a continuum – different needs at different times from different people?  So many questions. Today's guest, Fred Trotter, co-authored the seminal work Hacking Healthcare. Fred is a Healthcare Data Journalist and expert in Clinical Data Analysis, Healthcare Informatics, Differential Privacy, and Clinical Cybersecurity. Podcast intro Welcome to Health Hats, the Podcast. I'm Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged cisgender old white man of privilege who knows a little bit about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let's make some sense of all of this. Privacy in Digital Communication Health Hats: I picture movement along a continuum when I think about Digital Privacy. Complete privacy is connecting with no one. That's intolerable. No privacy is connecting with everyone about everything. That's unsafe and exhausting. Privacy and risk tolerance go hand in hand for me alone and for me with my peeps and tribes. Risk tolerance isn't fixed it changes with context. My thoughts get muddier when I associate privacy and connection. They are flip sides of the same coin. I need community connection. But the more I connect (content and reach), the more complex privacy becomes. My approach to managing privacy involves harm reduction, a term used in substance use treatment. So, based on my ever-changing risk tolerance and my need for connection, how do I reduce the harm privacy issues can cause? Harm reduction, safety, data aggregation Fred Trotter: It's funny that you mentioned harm reduction. A college friend of mine,

In this episode, we discuss the significant changes in the weight of Star measures, with the reversal of the 2022 Final Rule—many measures are returning to their previous weights. In response to the 2022 Final Rule, plans made significant investments to enhance the member experience in areas like customer service and developing digital platforms. The 2023 Final Rule has recently announced the removal of the Reward Factor and is replacing it with the Health Equity Index, which aims to incentivize plans to focus on serving members with higher social risk factors. “Members are getting a better experience because plans reacted to the measure weight increases. Even though the measure weights may be redacted, the investments are already there and members are going to continue to feel the benefits of these enhancements.” - Michelle SimonAlthough the removal of the Reward Factor may temporarily affect Star Ratings, plans that perform well for their underserved members will receive a bonus tied to their performance. The point system and measure weights play a crucial role in plan performance for Star Ratings. The difference between a 4-Star and a 5-Star plan is often a very tight threshold. It's critical for plans to adopt a dynamic approach that constantly evaluates the data and how it relates to the weight of the measures. Stars is a math game that requires constant analysis and iteration to strategically direct efforts and resources towards the highest impact. While the upcoming changes are generating a mix of excitement and apprehension among plans, the focus remains on advocating for the members and achieving better outcomes. Tune into this episode to hear valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the Stars program, and learn strategies in navigating the changes and improving performance. About Our GuestMichelle Simon has over 15 years of experience in quality programs. She began her career on the commercial side with the quality rating system and transitioned into the Stars space where she has spent the majority of her career. Simon has a Masters degree in Organizational Leadership and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Informatics and Data Analytics.

In Episode 50 of The Healthcare Leadership Experience Jim Cagliostro is joined by Joe Cagliostro, Informatics Site Manager at Robert Wood Johnson, Barnabas Health, to discuss the impact of informatics on healthcare.    Episode Introduction  Healthcare as a sector has been slow to adopt technology. Healthcare informatics can help to bridge that gap. In this episode, Jim Cagliostro, VIE's Clinical Operations Performance Improvement Expert, interviewed Joe Cagliostro to discuss the benefits technology offers healthcare. These benefits include patient safety, Joe's role in bridging the gap between IT and nursing, virtual resources for novice nurses, and how to encourage staff buy-in.       Show Topics  The shift to healthcare informatics  How the ‘'RN tag'' builds trust between IT and clinical teams  Lab specimen barcode scanning   How healthcare informatics enhances EMR processes  An on-call virtual resource for smaller community hospitals  The challenge of keeping patient information secure  Encouraging staff buy-in to technology      02:33 The shift to healthcare informatics   Joe outlined his career history and the need to learn a whole new language in nursing informatics.     ‘'And as I took on more of those responsibilities, it really developed my interest in the IT side of healthcare in the informatic side of nursing. And an opportunity came up, a job opening within the RWJBarnabas system. And I applied for it after finding out a little bit more. And I started working in that role about a year and a half ago. Now it was eye opening to me because when I was in nursing education, I knew everything about IT because I knew how to double click a mouse, or I knew what an icon was, but then coming into the true IT department, it was like I had to learn a whole new language. Now keep in mind. My MSN was in nursing education. Now it is incredible to see the number of programs out there for an MSN in nursing informatics. It was a whole new language. It was a whole new world that I had to learn working in this clinical informatics role.''    07:00 How the ‘'RN tag'' builds trust between IT and clinical teams  Joe explained how his experience of the challenges nurses face helps to establish relationships more quickly.     ‘'I know when I first came into the role, a lot of my coworkers that I was training with, they said, you know what, Joe, in addition to your ID badge, make sure you hold on to your RN tag that hangs underneath your badge. You want people to know as you're rounding that you are indeed a nurse because the nurses, although they'll respect anyone they interact with, they have just a higher degree of appreciation for someone who knows the struggle. Someone who knows the challenges, the time constraints, the barriers, especially since my role is working specifically with the electronic medical record. When they know that I know the struggles that they have with the EMR, they're more likely to give an open ear. They're more likely to say, Hey, you know what? He knows what it's like. I'm going to listen to what he has to say, because I know a little bit of their struggles. The challenges that come up during any given shift for the nurse, for the physician, the provider, and part of that experience helps me in translating things from the clinician to the analyst and vice versa, right? The clinician has a problem. I have to relay that to the analyst in a way that they'll understand, or the analyst wants to present a solution, or they have a problem. I need to explain that to the clinician in a way that they can understand.''    11:22 Lab specimen barcode scanning    Joe gave an example of how his role helped analysts to understand workflow on the frontline of healthcare.     ‘'A little while ago, one of our last hospitals in our system to go live with lab specimen barcode scanning. So really it's been in the system for a while now, but there was one hospital that we're really trying to catch up to speed. And the analyst, they had the ability to troubleshoot the mapping and the networking of the printers. And if we wanted the lab specimen labels to print to the lab between certain hours, but then to the floor at other hours, I mean, this is above and beyond my knowledge, as far as how they configure all those settings between, well, what's the IP address and naming that printer so that it can be communicated with once the order is put in by the physician. That's above and beyond me, at least at this point. But once I went through the process, I had a little bit better understanding. Whereas those analysts trying to get this system up and running for the nurses didn't understand the workflow that the nurses had to follow. Right. They had to go to their supply room, get their specimen tubes, their alcohol preps, their tourniquets. Then they had to go to the nurse's station and were moving towards printers installed on our portable works stations, our portable WOWs, but not quite there yet. So they have to go to the nurse's station, get the label printed, but the analyst didn't understand this back and forth, then this WOW being brought to the room. But the nurse, and infection prevention is another factor, going in one time with everything that you need. And I had to explain that workflow to the analyst.''    14:38 How healthcare informatics enhances EMR processes  Joe highlighted the benefits healthcare informatics can bring to patient care and safety.   ‘'And so one of these organizations that ensures we're providing safe care was looking at our process for medication entry into our EMR. And what we did was we had to have myself as well as a provider, someone from the lab, someone from pharmacy, someone from quality and to test our EMR to make sure the appropriate safety alerts pop up. Right. And as we talk about moving into the future, it's almost like every day, every month, every year, more and more of these safety nets are built. For example, we were testing out if I order certain medication for a patient over the age of let's say 79, do I get an age related alert saying this patient might be at risk? If the provider's ordering one beta blocker, but the patient already is on another beta blocker, do I get an alert saying duplicate orders, contraindication, this is not safe for the patient? Along with auto crosschecking meds, Hey, this med might be harmful to the kidneys. What's the renal function, right? So all these alerts that are popping up and the great thing about EMRs and there's a lot of homemade ones, but there are some larger ones that really many healthcare systems are taking part of, they're very customizable. And we say, look, we're noticing this patient's getting a med order they shouldn't have gotten. Our analysts can build that.''    18:00 An on-call virtual resource for smaller community hospitals  Joe said that virtual support for the inpatient setting is vital to the future of healthcare in smaller communities.     ‘'One more thing I will share quickly, smaller community hospitals that have a higher turnover rate, many brand new novice nurses. It's a network of experience. Even some nurses that we're planning on retiring have joined this network. And we're trying out this almost on call experienced nurse system where our new nurses at our smaller hospitals can almost have this on call nurse, this virtual resource nurse that they have a patient that is not as stable as they once were. They're concerned. They can tap into these nurses and have them provide their recommendations, their guidance, their support, when we don't physically have the ability to support nurses at a physical location for whatever reason. So that's one way I see that can become a very big thing in the next 10 to 20 years.''    19:53 The challenge of keeping patient information secure   Joe said that maintaining the privacy of patient information in the face of rapid growth is a challenge for healthcare.     ‘'For example, you have a provider, you have a director, a manager, somebody wants to bring in a new application. What we have to do is we have to make sure that it is secure enough to handle our patient information. Back in the day, much of patient information, secure patient information was held on older systems that used physical hardware servers, right? And that's very quickly moving to cloud-based servers. And when you move it to the cloud, obviously it's a whole other method of security. And so even before something's brought into our local hospital, our healthcare system, it has to go through so many checks, so many verifications that it indeed can secure our patient information. So that's a huge thing. Just being able to provide the highest level of protection when dealing with personal and sensitive healthcare information. Cost is always a factor.''    20:47 Encouraging staff buy-in to technology  Joe shared an example of how he overcame resistance to change    ‘'One specific example, I was at a IV infusion pump training class, as we're moving to a new EMR throughout our system and we were teaching them the process of integrating our pumps into that new EMR.  Some of the staff were saying, well, man, to associate the pump, now I got to bring my scanner over here to the patient's wristband and then to the pump. And it is, I told them, it's going to slow you down at first because it's new. But to imagine when you associate that pump and scan that patient, that drug, that pump now, instead of having to manually input the name of the drug, the dose, the concentration, the rate, the volume, you scan that bag, that patient, that pump, it pulls it right in. So before you know it, and it becomes muscle memory now, not to the point where we're not thinking about it, but there are safety measures built into these pumps as well. This will in fact, speed up your time. It's ultimately going to make your job easier, quicker, but at the same time, safer and more efficient for the patient. So that's just one specific example in regards to staff buy-in.''    Show Links  Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn  Check out VIE Healthcare Consulting    You'll Also Hear:  How nursing informatics bridges the gap between IT and the clinical world of healthcare, nursing and medicine.     When it comes to IT and nursing, communication and teamwork is equally as important as the caregiver/care provider relationship is for patient care.     A practical example of nursing informatics assisting in patient care. ‘'When you're trying to print out a label for blood work and it's not going to the printer, then you have a problem. And then it's people like you that are making that work behind the scenes….I know at the bedside, we're not even thinking about these issues.''    Why healthcare informatics is essential to improving patient safety and outcomes by providing better resources and accessibility. ‘'What good is the resource if you can't get it into the hands of the clinicians, into the hands of the patients, right?''    How the pandemic has moved the healthcare IT sector forward by at least ten years.     The one quote about change that helps to understand staff resistance to advances in healthcare technology – and why the more rapid the change, the harder it becomes to encourage staff buy-in.     Why ‘'turning it off and turn it back on again'' really can correct malfunctioning tech equipment. ‘'Maybe 65, 70% of the time, if you're dealing with malfunction equipment, that is what you should try to do. And that has solved the problem 70% of the time.

Translational Health Disparities Research in a Data-Rich World https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6356140/ People experiencing health disparities, researchers, program and policy staff, and leaders addressing health policies present a spectrum of opinion about the value of big data approaches. These differing opinions range from lack of trust, to acceptance, to enthusiastic endorsement. Researchers must be cognizant and respectful of these differences because building trust is a key aspect of building a broad coalition, which is needed for successful generalizability. Moreover, researchers have the responsibility to ensure their research does not cause harm to either individuals or communities. How Can Big Data Help to Address Health Disparities? https://datascience.cancer.gov/news-events/blog/how-can-big-data-help-address-health-disparities Our country is in the midst of two crises. One is the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. The other has more historic underpinnings but is now finally receiving greater recognition—the issue of racial inequality. Today's Guest: Dr. Claire Exaus earned a B. S. Pharmacy degree in 1997 from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Got licensed in MA and worked at Cambridge Hospital for two months then moved to FL in June of that year and took a position of staff pharmacist at a very busy CVS pharmacy then called Eckerd Drugs. Dr. Claire Exaus quickly attracted the attention of the district manager as customers called and wrote the district office of her outstanding customer service. Dr. Claire got promoted to pharmacist trainer in May 1998 and spent a month in Richmond, Virginia assisting with Rite Aid conversion to Eckerd Drugs after acquisition. In January 2001, Dr. Claire enrolled back in school into an MBA program but quickly realized that it wasn't for her. Her goal was to be a clinical pharmacist and instead obtained her PharmD. Four years later in January 2005, Dr. Claire was accepted into the PharmD program at Nova Southeastern University with a concentration in Managed Care and found her footing. In May 2010, Dr. Claire graduated with Honors with her PharmD while maintaining a full-time job and caring for her new baby. In 2007, Claire left retail pharmacy and took a position at a federally-funded HIV clinic where she provided care and education to newly diagnosed HIV patients and assisted them in getting HIV medications through patient-assisted medication programs funded by drug manufacturers. Two years later, the clinic closed due to lack of funding. In March 2009, Claire entered the world of hospital pharmacy at Baptist Hospital in Miami, FL. It was there at that institution that her clinical formation took shape and there Dr. Claire got to fulfill her goals of honing in her clinical acumen. Always ready to learn, she was assigned to different floors and was mentored by the more experienced pharmacists. She rotated through med-surg, pediatric, pediatric oncology, surgery, emergency medicine, critical care and oncology. She was recognized for improving SCIP score rate after 3 months on the surgery floor. She demonstrated her leadership by leading various projects to improve medication safety and employee wellness with organizing fundraising for the annual heart walk. In 2011, Dr. Claire was introduced to pharmacy informatics by participating in a project to roll out new dispensing cabinets to a new surgery wing. The rollout was an eye opener to a new world of potentials. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Claire took a position at Palmetto Hospital as a Clinical Informatics Pharmacist as the hospital was preparing to transition from Meditech system to Cerner. Dr. Claire volunteered to train as a super user to train others to use the system. Dr. Claire trained physicians, nurses and pharmacy staff. Learning this new skill opened the door to go back to school and obtain a degree in Healthcare Informatics. In August 2015, Dr. Claire left Florida and moved to Massachusetts and took the position of Lead Clinical Pharmacist at Healthcare Associates. She developed a pharmacist-led prior authorization program. In June 2019, Dr. Claire transferred to the Cancer Center where she held the title of Clinical Coordinator Oncology System Management. Currently, Dr. Claire is pursuing a Masters in Regulatory Affairs with a concentration in Health Economic Outcomes Research. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Healthcare Analytics Decoded, a Quantros podcast, Quantros Director of Data Science Andrew Johnson joined host Lauren Hickey to explore how hospitals, health systems and purchasers of healthcare benefit from utilizing data analytics software. Johnson's healthcare data science work has been published in dozens of scientific publications, and he's spent time leading HCA Healthcare's National Group data science team, held faculty positions in Public Health Administration at the University of Kentucky, and currently holds a faculty appointment in Healthcare Informatics at the Medical University of South Carolina. In particular, Hickey and Johnson focused on the effects of a general shift from a fee-for-service-based model to a value-based one. Johnson said he advocates for any hospital, health system, etc. to have a list of “vital signs” it tracks in terms of metrics and data. Those “vital signs” should flow down from the organization's mission statement, but Johnson said there are also three categories of new additions to these signs that healthcare organizations can benefit from – compliance with care-practice models and best practices, outcome measures associated with value-based contracts, and patient experience metrics. Once those primary “vital signs” – readmissions, length of stay, etc. – are taken care of, it's beneficial to take a deeper dive into more specific metrics and find a way to compare a healthcare organization to its peers across the nation. Healthcare analytics software, particularly a quality third-party solution, can help organizations improve performance, gain insights, find mutually beneficial partnerships, and more in a way that doesn't strain internal teams and EMR solutions.

What do you know about drug diversion? Our guest today is Nick Culbertson, CEO and Co-Founder of Protenus, a Baltimore-based healthcare technology company. Nick was in medical school and doing research at Johns Hopkins University when he and his eventual Co-Founder realized that hospitals have a big problem managing risk and maintaining compliance--a problem their work in data analytics might be able to solve. Nick talks to us about how his background as a Green Beret in the US Army prepared him to step into the role of a founder, and how Protenus went from a two person startup to a company with over 100 employees serving healthcare systems across the country. We talk about the leadership team's response to the call to action of the Black Lives Matter movement, and we discuss how Nick and his team have built a culture of inclusion at Protenus. Nick also offers his advice for entrepreneurs who are working to launch a venture, and gives us his perspective on how strong mentors are an entrepreneur's most valuable asset. Protenus was recognized in Forbes as a 2020 “Best Startup Employer” and a “Cool Vendor” in Artificial Intelligence by Gartner. Protenus received the 2019 Innovation of the Year in Data Security award by Healthcare Informatics and was recognized as one of the Best Places to Work by Modern Healthcare in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Protenus completed its Series C financing in August 2019, and is one of Baltimore's leading employers in healthcare analytics. Nick Culbertson is also a finalist for Ernst & Young's "Entrepreneur of the Year 2020" Award.

This week, we feature one of the powerful and inspirational speakers that shared her story at the Empower Me event hosted by the Southern African Embrace Foundation last March 9 in Toronto. Her name is Rhonelle Bruder. Rhonelle talks about how feeling powerless was already prevalent in her young childhood having been placed for adoption at the age of 3 by her own mother due to poverty. Growing up in a town and school where she was the only person of African descent, she suffered much discrimination and powerlessness. It was also to much despair that, still in her youth, her adoptive parents both suffered from mental illness. This led her to discontinue her studies in high school and leave home. Her journey was far from relief as she ended up on the streets of Toronto. She survived with the help of Covenant House, an agency serving at-risk, homeless, and troubled youth. But here she also met certain individuals that eventually led her to another dark path of exploitation, manipulating her through her vulnerabilities of basic needs to survive and to belong. The string of powerlessness came at its peak when she ended up witnessing the physical abuse of a young woman she could not save, that could very well have been herself. This was the turning point that made her decide to escape that life, and into another journey hoping for a better life. This next chapter of her life was unfortunately that of an abusive relationship while she was with child, which again led her to leave with just her and her very young daughter. At this point, the powerlessness had to end. Rhonelle decided to open her eyes, see her value, and embrace true empowerment. Now, Rhonelle is a holder of a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, and had recently completed her masters of Healthcare Informatics. She has worked in multiple leading healthcare institutions across Ontario as a researcher and analyst. "I was never really powerless. I always had everything I needed inside of me. I just couldn't see it. And the moment I opened my eyes and I saw my value, I knew that I was unstoppable." - Rhonelle Bruder In the summer of 2018, Rhonelle founded The Rise Initiative with the aim to inspire members of the community to become agents of change, to "help vulnerable youth who are exploited, abused, alone and scared" as she once was. Rhonelle has been advocating for survivors of human trafficking, for homeless youth, and for girls of African descent. She has partnered with various non-profit organizations and continues to advocate for support and funding for her cause. "It wasn't until I started helping other people that I felt empowered... we are not empowered unless we start empowering each other." - Rhonelle Bruder IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Rhonelle's early life experiences Growing up with an adoptive family in a predominantly white community Her personal struggles with discrimination in school, and family issues after her parents had suffered from mental illness Her experience leaving home and ending up in the streets of Toronto How she got manipulated into a life that exploited her vulnerabilities How she finally got to embrace true empowerment How she currently helps the troubled and exploited youth EPISODE LINKS: Rhonelle's Website INSTAGRAM: @rhonellebruder The Rise Initiative website INSTAGRAM: @rise.initiative Covenant House in Toronto African Embrace Foundation Follow NDINI on: Website: http://www.ndini.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NDINImedia/ Twitter: @NDINImedia Instagram: @ndinimedia Follow The NDINI Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher and SoundCloud

In this episode of Creating a New Healthcare, Dr. Zeev Neuwirth interviews Dr. Par Bolina, Chief Innovation Officer at IKS.  Par is a physician & expert in Healthcare Informatics, Electronic Medical Records & Exam Room Ambulatory Workflow.  This episode focuses on one of the most critical and under-examined parts of healthcare delivery - the so-called “last mile” - the patient/provider encounter - where the rubber meets the road, and where healthcare value is directly created.  To be quite honest - this podcast episode is lengthy; but you won’t want to miss what’s revealed.   Dr. Bolina points out that our lack of investigation into and superficial understanding of the provider/patient encounter is what is leading to avoidable care gaps, suboptimal outcomes, inefficiencies, high costs, provider burnout, and less than optimal patient experience. Similar to a Jacque Cousteau, Bolina takes us on a deep dive into this largely unexplored domain, and opens our eyes to the ‘ecosystem of the encounter’ - what might be considered ‘the final frontier’ of healthcare delivery.  What Bolina reveals to us is that the provider/patient encounter is filled with real-time data that we could measure and use, to dramatically improve upon healthcare outcomes.  Dr. Bolina discusses ‘Scribbles’ - a ‘scribe on steroids’ redesign that he’s developed at IKS.  Scribbles is an asynchronous, virtual, off-site physician-scribe/coach who listens to the audio recorded encounters during off-hours, and provides the provider with daily, real-time feedback and recommendations to improve clinical care, documentation & coding.  

Dr. Nick is a leader in Digital Healthcare and Innovation, and former Chief Medical Officer for Dell. He provides strategic insights and guidance to support healthcare organizations, medical professionals and patients through information-enabled healthcare. He brings an incremental approach to developing successful strategies and applying technology to achieve a technology environment that is interconnected, efficient and patient-focused. He is a highly sought out speaker on the practical and futuristic use of healthcare technology and how it can improve patient engagement and wellness. Dr. Terheyden brings a distinctive blend of medical practitioner and business strategist, both national and international, to the realm of digital healthcare technology. A graduate of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, University of London, Dr. van Terheyden is a pioneering creator in the evolution of healthcare technology. After several years as a medical practitioner in London and Australia, he joined an international who's who in healthcare, academia and business, in the development of the first electronic health record in the early 1990's and later, as a business leader in one of the first speech recognition companies. His rare combination of patience, creativity, skill and intrinsic business ethics has led him to a diverse career in healthcare with some of the most prestigious hospitals, consulting firms, and technology companies. His focus is on small improvements we can learn from other industries and can be applied in healthcare to bring immediate value, but that also add up to the big leap we need and are all looking for - focusing on evolution not revolution. His most recent position was Chief Medical Officer for Dell where he was responsible for providing strategic insight establishing the organization as an innovator in healthcare technology and Digital Health. In addition to writing and lecturing on futuristic trends in healthcare technology, his advice and counsel is sought by hospitals, physicians and other allied healthcare professionals all of whom are trying to figure out how to integrate and use technology to make the healthcare system work from the perspectives of quality and financial success. Dr. van Terheyden pays attention not just to processes and systems, but to people. His ability to speak in terms people can actually understand makes him a sought-out speaker.
