Thanks @fmstatic for spending 246 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Lost In You. You had me 11 years ago at the snare. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/X1jT0qRdux

@Slack My favorite feature is broken today! I NEED to be able to draw on other people's screens when they screenshare! (Any fixes in the works?)

On understanding the American #PostAcute #Health care market. Good luck finding a report this comprehensive/current that describes what happens after discharge from the hospital and how it's changing. https://t.co/Qtr4aGmWMt

AI deceptively acting like a human will become a widespread problem in many domains. We need ground rules. One proposal: "Turing Red Flag law" — bots should be designed so that it's clear they're bots; they should also identify themselves as bots up front. https://t.co/bHxE3WnVmh https://t.co/k2ZOMp02mH

@DrSimpsonHSR @Women_Of_Impact Wow; brilliantly written. We all find peace with it in different ways. Thank you for sharing and blazing such a hopeful trail for others, by example!

@policyprimate I have attended #hdpalooza for last 4 years and this is the first w/out the kiddos. I hired a nanny to come with us and take them to see the city while I attended. Providing childcare not a bad idea, though!

[Loran Cook @loranstefani]

@DrLeanaWen telling a data-centric audiece that data has to tell a story, in a framework RELEVANT to decision-makers in order to succeed at changing behaviors to get better outcomes. "The data alone will never be enough." #HDpalooza

[Loran Cook @loranstefani]

@MightyCasey @janoldenburg @hdpalooza @SeemaCMS @2healthguru @drnic1 It is de-identified and each aggregated file has to pass an approval process to see the light of day. All aggregations required to be done on 11 or more patients.

[Loran Cook @loranstefani]

@MightyCasey If there's anything I've learned about "big data" in the last 5+ years, it's that you can do a lot with imperfect datasets. I'd rather get it dirty and see what we can learn ... then we can talk about to get more accurate.

[Loran Cook @loranstefani]

@MightyCasey Ah; read Medicaid. Want both. All the data's.

[Loran Cook @loranstefani]

Who else have I heard say Medicaid data was coming "next year"? ... <cough cough> @JessPKahn #hdpalooza Not holding my breath.

"If you don’t show me data I won’t believe you, if you don’t tell me a story I won’t care.” Borrowed from @aaronecarroll and maybe Tom Dashle (?).
@Tidepool_org patient/physn story so compelling. Always fun to see real data getting used to make someone's life better. #HDPalooza
