We are Still Learning the Lesson Charles Babbage Taught Us in 1821
Back in 1821 when Charles Babbage introduced the world to his Difference Engine, one of the world’s first mechanical computers, he taught us that bad input = bad output. This is a lesson we are still learning today in healthcare. As we leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and large language models, we would do well to remember this lesson before relying too heavily on the output of these fantastical technologies. At the recent HIMSS23 Conference in Chicago, Charlie Harp, CEO of Clinical Architecture – a company that provides solutions for healthcare data quality, interoperabil...

The FDA Needs to Set Standards for Using Artificial Intelligence in Drug Development
By CHARLES K. FISHER, PhD Artificial intelligence has become a crucial part of our technological infrastructure and the brain underlying many consumer devices. In less than a decade, machine learning algorithms based on deep neural networks evolved from recognizing cats in videos to enabling your smartphone to perform real-time translation between 27 different languages. This progress has sparked the use of AI in drug discovery and development. Artificial intelligence can improve efficiency and outcomes in drug development across therapeutic areas.

Best of Our Blogs: October 22, 2013
Our world is made up of good and bad days. As Charles Dickens writes in The Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times and the worst of times.” Yet when fraught with illness, we can get so preoccupied with getting better we lose track of the happy moments. It’s the same when we watch the news on TV or search for information regarding our symptoms online. Instead of what’s working, our mind tends to zero in on what’s not. Being cognizant of joyful moments, does not mean we negate negative ones. It is not about being in denial or being a Pollyanna. It’s about recognizing all the complex...

The Dangers Of Quality Improvement Overload: Insights From The Field
Editor's note: This post is also co-authored by Ksenia O Gorbenko, Catherine van de Ruit, and Charles Bosk of the University of Pennsylvania. Quality improvement (QI) and patient safety initiatives are created with the laudable goal of saving lives and reducing “preventable harms” to patients. As the number of QI interventions continues to rise, and as hospitals become increasingly subject to financial pressures and penalties for hospital-acquired conditions (HACs), we believe it is important to consider the impact of the pressure to improve everything at once on hospitals and their staff. We argue that a strategy...

We Shouldn’t Follow Germany on Minimum Wage
Charles Hughes President Obama included a much discussed proposal to increase the national minimum wage to $10.10, from its current level of $7.25.  To date, the proposal has gone nowhere in Congress. In the meantime, some cities and states have introduced or approved increases in their minimum wage rates. Ten states and the District of Columbia have enacted increases in the 2014 session so far. In June, the Seattle City Council unanimously voted to increase their minimum wage to $15. In San Francisco, Mayor Ed Lee followed suit and has introduced a ballot measure to increase their minimum wage to $15 an hour. German...

Obamacare Enrollment 2015: How Many People Will Sign Up Next Year? (Public Support for Obamacare Is About to Turn a Corner) Part 1
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, some 10 million previously uninsured adults gained coverage during the open enrollment period that began on October 1, 2013.

Even though open enrollment officially ended on March 31, 2014, people are continuing to sign up.

Lessons In Transformation From The Walter Reed Bethesda Merger
“How is the BRAC going?” Former President George W. Bush turned and asked as he strode towards the hospital’s main entrance on a warm summer morning in July 2006. He had just completed another of his frequent visits with the wounded troops and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, D.C. and turned to question the hospital’s commanding general and senior staff. The General began to explain the progress made toward the closure of Walter Reed and the merger with National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda directed by the 2005 BRAC commission (Base Realignment And Closure). Presid...
