@healthbjk @stripe @Adyen @moov_io @finix Your learnings would make a great blogpost!

���� a non-trivial integration! Will be interesting to see if this requires the provider to also opt into receiving Halo data, and how the data is summarized in the provider-facing EMR interface.

[Christina Farr @chrissyfarr]

Also notable: Amazon's wearable Halo is linked to Cerner's EMR. So the health data can be shared with a doctor/care team.

The task will be to ensure it's clinically relevant and fits into the existing workflow.

My conversation w/ UK government today on their #COVID19 strategies:
1. Used Amazon to get 5,000 home test swabs (returned to central labs)
2. Hiring a contact tracing workforce of 18,000
3. Validating the smartphone tracing (@Google/@Apple) in a circumscribed population of 100K

[Sarah Kliff @sarahkliff]

Hospitals are laying off hundreds of health workers at a moment when they're needed more than ever — all because they're not bringing in the revenue they used to from elective surgery.

@wilbanks Home clinics ftw �� Your doc is amazing to be so honest about the marginal improvement in person

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

To hear us talk about it, you’d think a hospital was only populated with doctors and nurses... sometimes we will add on mention of “and other staff.” We can’t care for a single patient without those “other staff.” Here are a few (thread).

[Claudia Williams @claudiawilliams]

California EMS authority has activated PULSE. It gives COVID-19 emergency responder volunteers access to patient health records from HIEs and other data sources, including #manifestmedex

[Mona Sheikh @monasheikh]

Incredible, go go go @erlichya

[Gregory A. Maniatis @gmaniatis]

BREAKING: NY State acts to relieve the enormous pressure on frontline medical workers by allowing qualified graduates of foreign medical schools to contribute to the Covid-19 emergency response. Other states should follow suit ASAP. https://t.co/BpFDGiIbh4

[Dovey "Rug the fiat" Wan (hiring) @DoveyWan]

there is clear over-supply of PPE now in China: all manufactures which are qualified/capable turned to produced PPE starting 2 months ago, over 90% of N95 rated masks and other related items are made in China

If you are medical staff or procuring for hospital, feel free to DM

[Balaji @balajis]

Good thread.

We also need a national real-time hospital dashboard, as challenging as that is from many perspectives (data freshness, privacy, schema integration).

See hospital status at a glance across the country, with drill down, starting with COVID19.

A good illustration of why the surgical hand washing technique is really very important
