A Letter to Ms. Judy Faulkner & Mr. Tommy Thompson
By GRACE CORDOVANO PhD, BCPA Being a patient or a carepartner can be a lonely, powerless place. There’s no high powered legal or lobbying team to help support you in your or your loved one’s health care journey. There’s no PR team at your beck and call. There’s no advisory board, no executive committee, no assistants, no chatbots or AI-powered technology coming to the rescue. There’s no funding or a company sponsoring your efforts. There’s no course in how to be a professional patient or carepartner. There’s no one there in the stillness and dark of the night, when you are in the quiet of your tho...

Unions Can Dispense Legal Advice. Why Can't Trade Associations?
Walter OlsonMay a state prohibit a trade association from employing lawyers to dispense legal advice to member firms? Last spring the Fourth Circuitruled that it does not violate the First Amendment for the state of North Carolina to maintain such a ban, and on December 16 the Supreme Court let that result stand bydeclining acertiorari petition. But the issues in the case are worth our attention.It is still taught that corporations cannot practice law, but theexceptions to that maxim are big ones. Long ago the rules changed to permit corporations to hire in-house lawyers and insurance companies to employ staff lawyers to r...

Diabetes as the Trojan Horse of Digital Health
Originally, a Trojan horse referred to the wooden horse used to cunningly penetrate and conquer the city of Troy by the Greeks. In our era, the term has been adapted to describe disguised malwares that attack unsuspecting users’ computers and wreak havoc once inside. Judging by the title of this article, how then can a condition as serious as diabetes help move the digital health agenda forward? Computer generated 3D illustration with the Trojan Horse at Troy, source: http://codingtidbit.com/ Once upon a time, empowered patients started a revolution…  It all begins with a crippling speed of bureaucra...

Nurse Practitioners and Physicians Behind the 8-Ball
On June 8, 2019, an article was published in the New York Times that clearly stated something I ' ve been thinking about for quite some time.

Notes on the 1st Alcor New York Science Symposium
This past weekend, I was in New York City for a meeting organized by Alcor New York, a cryonics community group that is presently seeking to set up a more robust Biostasis Society of New York complete with well-organized standby capacity to help people achieve a successful cryopreservation at the end of life. Setting aside technical issues, the greatest challenge in cryopreservation is the fact the euthanasia, and thus the ability to arrange time of death, remains largely illegal. Hence there must be expensive standby operations, suboptimal deaths that cause significant damage to the brain, and a scramble to ensure rapid c...

Health Systems Hiring Chief Digital Officers; How Does This Effect the Current C-Suites
    During my career in healthcare IT dating back to the early 1980s, I have seen one major change in the executive leadership in hospital IT. This was the creation of thechief information officer (CIO). Prior to this time, the key IT position in hospitals was the HIS manager who reported to the CFO. This was logical because the major functions of the HIS (hospital information system) at that time were billing and tracking patient admissions and discharges (i.e., patient management systems). About ten years later, hospitals began to appoint chief information officers (CIOs). This c...

Part 2 - We Were Wrong 20 Years Ago, Our Current Response to the Opioid Crisis is Wrong, But We Should Still Be Helping Most of our Long-Term Patients Reduce Their Opioid Doses
