December 1: Today on the Community channel, it’s an Interview in Action live from HLTH '22 withSuraj Kapa, MD the CMO & SVP of Healthcare at TripleBlind. As soon as you move data out of your four walls, you lose governance over how, when, why, and for what purpose that data is being used. The core thesis at TripleBlind is that privacy enforced data and algorithm interactions will unlock the tremendous value, currently trapped in private data stores and proprietary algorithms. They move the world from “don’t be evil” to “can’t be evil”, by enabling everyone to freely collaborate around their most sensitive data and algorithms without compromising their privacy.

Clinical informaticists help decide what workflows are working and what workflows aren't working. What tools do we have available? How are we using them? How can we potentially use them better? When it comes to remote patient monitoring, there can be a lot of data. How do we use the data decisively? How can you visualize that data within Epic? What are the challenges with bringing in an external artificial intelligence program into a system? How do you integrate it to make it easy to onboard new algorithms as well fine tune it with your own data prior to the implementation?
March 17: Today on TownHall https://www.linkedin.com/in/rtstephan/ (Reid Stephan), VP and CIO at https://www.slhn.org/ (St. Lukes) interviews https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrieliken/ (Carrie Liken), Head of Industry for Healthcare at https://www.yext.com/ (Yext). Personalization in healthcare starts with search. Every single time somebody searches the web for something, there is a unique opportunity for healthcare organizations to provide and deliver to that individual a unique answer. But unfortunately a lot of organizations can’t necessarily connect the dots to make sure that they're showing the right information. What is a good first step for an organization that's trying to get their arms around really controlling the consumer experience that starts at search? Do they have analytics data? Do they have data about what's happening on their website? Do they have data about how people are coming to the website? And can you actually track how many of those people that typed in a search query actually got to your site?
March 15: Today on TownHall, https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-oliver-md-1b1b6017/ (Brett Oliver), Family physician and Chief Medical Information Officer at https://www.baptisthealth.com/ (Baptist Health) interviews https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronmiri/?trk=public_profile_browsemap (Aaron Miri), SVP, Chief Digital & Information Officer at https://www.baptistjax.com/ (Baptist Health Jacksonville). What are the most exciting healthcare technologies out there right now? Everybody is doing retail medicine, so how do you make a patient feel special instead of one of millions? Does your organization have a blocking and tackling approach? Do they focus on talent and leadership development? How do technologists put solutions out there that make sense and transact the business in a safe, secure and friendly manner? How do you convince clinicians to change a workflow with a new technology that you're convinced will make a difference for them?
March 10: Today on Townhall https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakelancaster8/ (Jake Lancaster), Chief Medical Information Officer at https://www.baptistonline.org/ (Baptist Memorial Health Care) interviews Peter Hong, Clinical Informatics Fellow and Pediatric Hospitalist fellow at Boston Children's. The philosophy and ideology of preventive medicine can be summed up nicely as “an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure”. But healthcare professionals can become really encumbered by a lot of the processes. Apps can help substantially with disease management and prevention. When it comes to developing your own specific apps, there's a lot of great minds in healthcare but not a lot of abundant dollars to pour into it, so where do you even begin?
