“Doctor prescribed” are apps that doctors drive users to use.  “Biohacking” are apps that users demand, but have limited usefulness in the clinical context.  What’s missing are apps that have high user demand AND high clinical relevance.  Apps with high user demand AND high clinical relevance are needed for digital health PLATFORMS to emerge that can bring TRANSFORMATIVE potential.

True

Agree with your assessment.

Yes, Outcomes! For a comprehensive fall assessment please consider CDC STEADI! 1 in 5 seniors falls & has a traumatic injury. We will have more repeat senior visits to the emergency room if we don’t address how or why the senior falls! CDC STEADI works, is easy and fun to do. It has good outcomes and is evidence-based.

IMHO Workflow is like carbon monoxide : It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, but if you don’t know about it, it can quietly hurt you. Understanding it, learning how to document it, and learning how it’s built and changed are the first steps to improving it. #whyinformatics

#physicianburnout and frustration from forced and tedious documentation is only bested by the upcoming tsunami of resource crunch. Many #doctors & #nurses are deserting for #mbalife. That is why one option to cure this malady is #worldhealthorganization recommended task-shifting. Resources should only perform tasks most suited for their qualifications. #healthcare

I attended the CEO boot camp session. Good to hear from other leaders about potential missteps and pitfalls in implementation and how to avoid them. Looking forward to learning more.

additional challenge is it requires extra effort to calculate the value for leadership. thats a challenge for our specialty, but one that we can do and some orgs have done a great job at it

Its an interesting phenomena where the #1 tool in a modern day healthcare system is potentially the least funded for ongoing improvements and quality training. Almost every time I sit down with a provider, within twenty minutes I have shown them things that significantly change their workflow. Its usually found by not assuming they know the simple or less known important functions that significantly change their workflow.

Agreed. A little bit of focused attention goes a long way.

It’s great to hear that EPIC focuses on improving workflow and reducing burnout at their conferences! Have they made suggestions for how to justify and make front end investment when starting on EPIC?

Just my opinion here… Epic makes good software.  They are clueless about adult education. 
Epic is so expensive that many organizations get sticker shock after go-live and cut their training resources. 

Enjoy! How long you in town? Vikki here from VB this weekend

Please ask audiences at #EpicUGM how many of them are still typing in passwords rather than using single sign on. If an organization is not willing to invest in that technology it’s not serious about #EHRoptimization. I ask this at most keynotes I give, and invariably half the room raises their hands. It’s the same technology that you use to open your hotel room door, and can save 500-1000 clicks per day.

Thankful for the importance being placed on very impactful issues.

I presented our physician optimization/personalization project yesterday at UGM to a standing room only crowd. It’s encouraging to see so many people paying attention to the issue.

Mark, Epic UGM?  Thought it was Cerner UGM – when all the world is an EHR…  :~)  [Simile]

#HITsm will be hosting the Twitter chat “EMR’s: Lessons Learned Over the Past Fifteen Years” on September 27th at 9EST. It would be great to have these comments/ideas represented there. I agree with #whyinformatics myself, but we’d like to have multiple viewpoints represented. Hopefully we can learn from past mistakes…. LMK if you need help joining
