Quick re-cap: I am an amateur astronomer (very amateur.) Although I read up on the various things to look at, it all pretty much goes out of my head when I’m up late at night with my scope. So I commenced creating podcasts to listen to. Each files is to be associated with a particular celestial body. However, this project would take forever, so I’ve switched to a “quick and dirty method.”
Here’s a sample, M13:
Dossia is a group of employers putting together a Personal Health Record system. It is an attempt to get a better return on their investment as well as fixing the system by preempting providers. With highly quotable members, an agressive agenda, a court case and recriminations, it is also an interesting situation to watch unfold.
In early September I wrote a paper for my OHSU Informatics class, The Business of Healthcare Informatics (John Kenagy.) The paper briefly looks at Dossia history, then explores how providers may approach such PHRs: Dossia and Doctors- An Employer Driven, Personal Health Record and The Provider. (pdf)
As readers of my old blog know, I’ve been traveling to Second Life and recording various health care related sites. I’m called Knoh Oh in-world and have been sending postcards to Snapzilla anyone can view them. I’m currently up to 64 sites.
Please excuse some old stuff re-posted. I plan on putting up all my old content, but in its own area. I am adding highly requested items directly into the new, spiffy, blog.
When my Hipster PDA got left behind, I found myself picking up all sorts of scraps of paper to write on. Now I keep a small stack of planner templates on my keychain. It is small enough not to bother me, is with me just about where ever I go, and includes the stuff I need to stay organized.
