Health IT is my main research area;
enjoy both cooking and eating;
running is a must.

@pblairNYT @sae722 An interesting extension. I've been wondering if it would be possible to get the dataset of Wordle users? There are lots of interesting questions to be explored about behavior through statistics. Better still would be a dataset that combined several of the games and crosswords.

@wpeacock15 @UABSchoolofBiz @uabSOPH Way too little research funding has been dedicated to this topic.

@wpeacock15 @UABSchoolofBiz @uabSOPH It takes 18 years for most advances in medicine to find there way to routine practice. Is it the same for innovations?

@UABThomas @UABSchoolofBiz This could be great for rural communities' simpler health needs

@KhuyenTranUAB @UABSchoolofBiz How did we not know this sooner?

@dnoneal @uabSOPH CVS and Walgreens have made great inroads. Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet...not so much.

@Chandler_B17 @UABSchoolofBiz Rural areas are a great test bed for innovations.

@Farzad_MD @SeemaCMS Are other healthcare sectors no longer competitive? When was the last time a new EMR company was started?

Whenever health tech is trending...it is bad news. MyChart is trending b/c the cleveland clinic is going to start charging patients for MyChart messages that require "clinical time and expertise". How is a patient supposed to know ahead of time what type of question that is?

@raju_aaron @uabSOPH This is one of the more interesting business stories of 2020.

@MorganLee921 @mcweaverUAB @UABSchoolofBiz One of the good, unintended consequences of the pandemic has been the increased access through telehealth. The question about the quality differential is a good area for research.

Bought air ticket 1/9 with Allianz insurance, because you never know. According to them, I could have reasonably predicted COVID-19 would lead to everything being cancelled. What am I, a U.S. Senator? #classaction #dortmundfan

@prozach09 @UABSchoolofBiz Yes, the high consequences of a failure are where the comparisons begin. Unfortunately, there are several 'analogy failures' that make applying the lessons from one industry to another. Here is an article on another area where the analogy problem arises https://t.co/pen2w00zRY

@mfgleason @uabSOPH There is a definite bias toward more complicated machinery in HC.

@mayankpatelEBM @UABSchoolofBiz When there were cDif outbreaks at one of the institutions I worked at, we had a whole lighting system we'd bring in to rooms where we thought the point source might have been or where a patient experienced the illness.
