Whether you celebrated Canada Day or Independence Day, you may be basking in the glory of a glorious holiday or exhausted from another family gathering of trying to keep your sanity in toll. If I’ve learned anything over the years is that you could spend years working on yourself and then poof! just like that you’re back to where you started. Maybe it’s your people-pleasing ways that return when you’re in the company of old friends who knew you way back when. Or certain relatives who trigger painful childhood memories when you are in their presence. Perhaps, the extra day of freedom could remind you just how toxic your work environment is and how much you are in need of a new job. Whatever it is, I feel you. The only thing we c...

I know I’ve had a great day so far and we’re gearing up to head to KFC and enjoy some fireworks with friends. Should be a great evening if the kids don’t get too cranky along the way. It has been a great day for me to remember how lucky I am to live in this wonderful country. There are plenty of things that are messed up in this country, but over all the freedoms we enjoy and benefits of living in America far outweigh the down sides. As I typed in the title of this post, I wondered what other things do I wish had their freedom when it came to the EMR world. First thing that came to mind was data independence. How beautiful would it be if our healthcare data was independent. I’m sure the ePatients out t...

The country failed in many ways to live up to the vision of the Declaration, notably in the institution of chattel slavery. But over the next two centuries that vision inspired Americans to extend the promises of the Declaration—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—to more and more people. China of course followed a different vision. Take the speech of Mao Zedong on July 1,...

The United States is celebrating our 235th birthday today. I’m honored and blessed to be living in a pretty great country (although, like every society, we certainly have our flaws). The United States was born of great dissatisfaction with the way the people were then being governed, especially an ever-increasing and seemingly never-ending tax burden. Today’s United States faces some of the same concerns — taxes keep going up while government takes on more and more. Let’s hope it never gets to another Revolution, but at the same time, I hope our politicians remember that their citizens don’t have endless pockets....

Awhile back Gabrielle of the The Therapist Within talked about the black sheep of the family as being the scapegoat. Sometimes after stepping back and working on your own stuff, you realize that you were not the big problem that you thought you were. Maybe it was your parents, your friends or even your partner that unintentionally made you the big bad black sheep so that they could be okay with their own idiosyncrasies. In your light, it made their shadows not so bad. So you’ve broken away from the pack and rediscovered yourself. The question is, “How do you venture back?” It’s summertime and that may mean gathering for friend’s birthdays ...

Did you have your hamburger and eat your hotdog too? Well, Independence Day was mild for me this year. Just a mix of work, board games and Chinese food. The only fireworks I experienced were the ones I heard outside my front door. But I think that’s what I appreciate most about 4th of July — our ability to be free. Free to choose how we spend not just holidays, but time, our thoughts and in general, our lives. In addition to our site here, other places like Oprah.com have asked users to declare things like their psychological independence and reader independence, respectively. For the 4th, I’m declaring my right to choose how to spend my days. This means less pressure to do what everyone else is doing, releasing obligation to participate in activ...

I find it pretty funny that now there’s a movement to make sure we say Independence Day instead of 4th of July. I think that we just have far too much time worrying about the words we use and not enough time on actually making a difference. I recently heard a phrase that I’m going to quote wrong, but went something like “Get a shovel and start digging.” My favorite in the EMR world is when people go crazy if you use the term EMR and not EHR. Let’s just get over it. The doctors I talk to really are. They use them interchangeably to mean everything that you might technically consider an EHR. Choosing to call it an EHR doesn’t make it more usable or have more features. I’m totally fine with implementing an ...

Saturday and Sunday, 9 p.m. ET both nights. Fox News is on lots more cable systems than Fox Business, so if you don’t get Fox Business, this is your chance to see Stossel. Tonight at 9 p.m., I think it’s a rerun of his recent show on Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose, featuring . . . me. Along with Johan Norberg, Tom Palmer, and Bob Chitester.

The first thing we need to do is ask the question “What is clinical interoperability?” The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE defines the term interoperability as follows: The ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. I like this definition because it is short and sweet, but to truly understand interoperability, we need to go a little further. The first thing we need to do is add that clinical interoperability is about exchanging a specific type of information.  It is about exchanging clinical information about a patient that allows our ‘partner’ to leverage what we alread...

The opposite is also true, and Ireland models precisely how peace acts as the harbinger of prosperity.  In the late 1990’s Ireland focused on two goals peace and prosperity, according to Irish Ambassador… H.E. Sean O’Huiginn. Simply put – Ireland recognized their role to strike out for prosperity through peace, and in so doing, they became a global model for both. It was a deberate move. Ireland took powerful plans away from violence when they joined the European Union and the Euro – both plans for peace that also led to mighty prosperity. For the first time, people between northern Ireland and Ireland began to see one another as humans – with common needs in spite of thei...
