Working to make healthcare easy and accessible for everybody.

@ananyachdh @K3shavGupta @O1Visa It’s hard to build a business without your family by your side. Good luck.

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@ananyachdh You have my support.

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Exciting news! I can't wait to leverage this technology in healthcare.

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

Agreed. Our team has several workflows we would launch within 60 days to further reduce physician data entry work.

I don't think we're all that far off from EHRs (even major ones) allowing RPA and screenscraping openly as an integration technique.

A few things factor into this:
1. The ongoing information blocking cases, seen to the conclusion of the arc they're on now, would entail that certified health IT need to allow some method of data access, exchange and use for all data elements in the UI. This may change with the way the cases pan out, but it's where the arc traces now.
2. AI workflows are moving significantly faster than available APIs and standards can accommodate. They're demanding data that isn't in USCDI and they're asking for write capabilities that are well beyond what the most advanced EHRs have, let alone long tail products. Simply put, they'll want to be able to see whatever the user does and do anything the user can do.
3. To allow is to control - if EHRs can institute a paved path for RPA, they can track it. They can rate limit it. They can direct it. The cat-and-mouse game of playing defense will wear down those that choose it, but there's strategic upside to leaning in and aligning interests. It's also cleaner when you offer a paved path to hold those that wander off it accountable legally.

The end result is functionally akin to the handwavy postulations about a new modality geared towards AI agents (that is neither an API or UI). RPA has a significantly higher ceiling (anything that the user can do) than APIs (anything the vendor has created an API for) unless a vendor has built their software as headless.

So it seems inevitable that RPA with guardrails is coming - who will be first?

My Tesla is driving me home and it made a slight swerve to move around a palm tree branch on the ground. Twice. 🤯

@LiAna9898 @DutchRojas Does this include HIT?

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@charliekirk11 @elonmusk plz get on this

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@DutchRojas I couldn’t agree more. What problem does company number 5 solve?

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

RIP pennies. Everybody needs to adjust their pricing to end in a 0 or 5 so exact change can be provided.

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@MananShahmd It was tempting to build for Covid. Glad we stayed the course with adjustments (added enterprise Telehealth, parking lot check-in, etc).

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Fire aid. Look at those stars and if you squint, you can see Slash!

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Here at the Fire Aid concert. Never thought I’d see Billie Eilish & Billie Joe play together!

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Is Meditech starting to gain momentum?

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@BKRBusinessMin I think it’s one of the many aspects. Knowing where/how to serve is important too. Making great decisions is another.

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Maybe we shouldn’t get too excited about DeepSeek.

[Nathan Covey @nathan_covey]

Just FYI

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

Among America’s physicians, more than 9 in 10 surveyed say that prior authorization has a negative impact on patient clinical outcomes. If AI can help payers with pre-auths, it can and should help automate submissions and responses to denials. Fight fire with fire.

@sacjai Sage advice.

[James Deck @jamesdeck]

@sacjai I get it. However, with declining reimbursement and increased expenses, how else shall a hospital, health system, or medical practice remain solvent? Should they sell supplements?

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Dr. King once said, "Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." True greatness lies in lifting others, making a difference, and serving with purpose. Let’s honor his legacy by finding ways to serve and create a better world together. #MLKDay
