Nurses spend 1/3rd of their time documenting clinical care and interacting with technology, leaving no time to put pieces of data together to see and act on early warning signs. Traci Reed, Baxter #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Improving healthcare is not about hiring a chief digital or innovation officer, but rather understanding what problem you are trying to solve and who is impacted, and then designing solutions in a manner that is meaningful for all parties. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

In healthcare, we like the bright shiny object that will solve all our problems, w/o asking ourselves, what problem are we trying to solve. David Dobbs, Hawaii Medical Service Assoc, says still basic problems (e.g., prior auth) that need fixed. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Lack of standardization in #heatlhcaretechnology systems a challenge. When @seattlechildren moved from Cerner to Epic, very difficult b/c the fields did not match. Hard for providers that have to provide good data to payors to get paid. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Need to look at healthcare decisions on more than just pure profit and loss. When @CVSHealth took tobacco out of stores, it was a $2 billion hit, but it has supported their ability to more effectively support and deliver healthcare. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

50% of @seattlechildren patients on Medicaid, with limited connectivity and old technology, e.g., Android V8 which is no longer supported. CIO Zafar Chaudry says digital solutions must be able to support their needs. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

How do we generate value from data in healthcare to improve heath? @seattlechildren CIO Zafar Chaudry says they ask both physicians and patients what info is valuable to them. What do they want to see, what is not relevant? #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems
With 350,000 digital health apps out there, how do we make sure we are harnessing the collective intelligence to help us drive better health for all, vs. simply generating profits for individual companies and further fragmentation. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Doctors and patients often have different views on what is a quality outcome. New research shows 88% of consumers want healthcare to be compassionate and personalized. An important factor for clinicians to consider. Eduardo Conrado, MD, Ascension. #GlobalSummit22 @InterSystems

Why can't someone access a hospital #digitalfrontdoor until they are a patient/sick. Why not engage with your consumers anytime they want...before they are sick? #disruptioninhealthcare Don Woodlock, head of healthcare solutions, @InterSystems #GlobalSummit22

Ridiculousness in healthcare: Hospital will charge you $10 and mail you your patient record. What if your bank did that with your account info? Don Woodlock, head of healthcare solutions. @InterSystems #GlobalSummit22 #healthcaredisruption

Ready for the opening session with @InterSystems CEO Terry Ragon #GlobalSummit22
With the rise in #chronicdisease and its associated costs, providing acute level care at home makes sense on multiple levels.

Collaboration in a crisis is critical. Key is building relationships IN ADVANCE. Tools you can use: pick up the phone, set a meeting, share your contact info and bring food.

Small hospital hit by ransomware attack. Hospital: We don't have enough $; Hackers: we have your bank statements. Hospital: We don't know how to pay in bitcoin. Hackers: No problem, we have 24/7 help desk. Does your hospital?
