Fueling Innovation in Healthcare by Scaling Access to Protected Data
The following is a guest article by Dr. Suraj Kapa, Chief Medical Officer at TripleBlind Data is arguably the most critical driver of innovation in healthcare today.

Myocarditis update from Sweden
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID19/vaccine myocarditis debate continues in large part because our public health institutions are grossly mischaracterizing the risks and benefits of vaccines to young people. A snapshot of what the establishment says as it relates to the particular area of concern: college vaccine mandates: Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. As of Feb. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. “The arg...

What Duplicate Patient Notes Reveal About Health Care and Its Records
Bloat in patient notes has been alarming doctors for some time. The American Medical Informatics Association began a project to reduce patient documentation to 25% of its current volume by 2025. This task won’t be solved by any single organizer or sector; the AMIA calls on providers and health systems, Health IT vendors, and policy and advocacy groups to join the effort. A recent study in a JAMA publication, “Prevalence and Sources of Duplicate Information in the Electronic Medical Record,” helps drive discussion of bloat forward by focusing on one manifestation: the duplication of text from one patient n...

This article makes the case and explains what will be required to make it happen.We hear a lot about “digital health” these days. As data about our health piles up — thanks to sources like electronic health records, personal fitness apps and gadgets, and home genome test kits — weshould understand a lot more than we used to about what ’s wrong with our health and what to do about it. But having a lot of data is not enough. We have to be aware of what we have, understand what it means, and act on that understanding.

Long COVID cardiac studies: More questions than answers.
BY ANISH KOKA The NIH recently announced $1.2 billion dollars in funding for research on Long COVID. This is in part because of a faction of scientists that have mined electronic health record databases to find evidence that the long term impacts of COVID on a variety of different organ systems is significant. I have some concerns when it comes to the cardiac complications discussed related to Long COVID. One of Dr. Al-Aly’s long COVID papers illustrates the issues with using large datasets to differentiate signal from noise. The authors used the US Department of Veterans Affairs national healthcare datab...

What Would Newt Do? Making Value-Based Care Victorious
By MICHAEL MILLENSON Health care’s much-trumpeted transition “from volume to value” care remains more tepid than transformational, according to a new study. Looking at 22 health systems nationwide, RAND researchers found that compensation continues to be “dominated by volume-based incentives designed to maximize health systems revenue.” Although confusing payment schemes bear part of the blame, there are deeper problems that appeared in sharp relief when I chanced upon a long-ago PowerPoint from a prominent political strategist and early advocate of “data-driven reimbursement.”  I refer, of cour...
