During the day I lead Velocare by Cardinal Health. My opinions are my opinions. Not a significant source of potassium.

@PhilMackey Why is Darnold holding onto the ball so looong? I'd be interested to see what their DBs are doing or if he's just tentative

[Alex Hoopes @AlexHoopes3]

⁦@PhilMackey⁩ Happy Fairy Tale day to those who celebrate!

@PhilMackey God help us if the Wilfs witness the Packers "just get in the tournament" and then make a run.

@PhilMackey Can’t wait to get my Kirk Cousins jersey at TJ Maxx tomorrow

@PhilMackey You-doh, Darrishaw

@sosarick @ThePurpleCode1 @Skolvikings_1 Hasn’t been top 10 in his own era but will be top 30 across all eras. Ok.

It’s time for another #sciencecorner 🚨🚨

@tjparker Unstructured data accurately interpreted (sure, with AI) and consumed is THE solution to healthcare interoperability. Trying for force orgs to align on the same version of FHIR or HLV vX has not/does not/will never reach mass adoption. Faxes ftw!

@healthcareandy I’m very curious how much of this RIF affects roles made redundant by these acquisitions. Direct, acquisition-driven layoffs would not be surprising at all.

@nikillinit Isn’t Homeward Health leaning into rural care? Not sure if they’re going into full acute care though. My business only deals in hospital-at-home but right now these programs still revolve around the nuclear hospital and are in metros

[Alex Hoopes @AlexHoopes3]

@StuartBlitz @ColtonOrtolf I would think they’ll always be the best of breed for large, integrated healthcare institutions (ie hospitals) but more care is being unbundled/delivered outside physical hospitals so Epic’s absolute impact would diminish.

@tomhalterman @AustinBaeth If you’re offered the choice to be punched in the stomach once or twice, would you choose to get punched once but also ask to not get punched at all?

@TheChiefNerd Who puts pregnant women in clinical trials??

[Alex Hoopes @AlexHoopes3]

@njkingsbury57 @anarresian @DBZHGWgamer @TheChiefNerd I’m not sure how a layperson is going to evaluate the accuracy and honesty of these theoretical organizations. Again, seems plausible until you start parsing through the details.

[Alex Hoopes @AlexHoopes3]

@njkingsbury57 @anarresian @DBZHGWgamer @TheChiefNerd Good in theory but then I think to the independent bond rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P) who did a terrible job risk scoring in the run-up to the Great Recession. The companies pay the agencies which creates incentives.

[Alex Hoopes @AlexHoopes3]

@njkingsbury57 @anarresian @DBZHGWgamer @TheChiefNerd Not sure that solves any fundamental problems. Don’t you want your drug approvers to be somewhat accountable to the public?

@SethDillon All I’ve learned this week is that I’m clearly under-utilizing cakes as a medium to convey all my strongest-held beliefs. “Happy Birthday”? Amateurism.

@BillAckman @PershingSqFdn You should challenge established, data-supported science with new, credible data. Not wild ideas unsubstantiated by anything other than the source’s imagination and biases.
