#Covid_19 #clinicalinformatics This pandemic has shown me multiple times already that so many hard things about healthcare are the products of incoherent policy, fractured communication, and terribly 'designed' workflows. Tucking away many notes for potential fellowship projects.

My electric toothbrush broke, and I delayed getting rid of it (in part bc I could not understand the disposal recommendations,) but today I decided to crack it open and take a peek. It was a single loose screw. Back in business! #QuarantineActivities

I walked on this track most cold days of college. It was hard then to imagine what life felt like when this picture was taken. My imagination doesn't have to work so hard today.

My Kinesis is dying. Googling for forms of resurrection. It's actually more a case of possession/exorcism (keys randomly type) but I fear this is the end.

Saturday morning aRt. #r4ds #rstats I wish I had taken more art and programming in high school and college, but better late than never!

I was curious about what the annual incidence of Kawasaki Disease is in the US. Headed over to the CDC's website. 😫The active case reporting system still requires you to fax or mail the report to the CDC. 😥 cdc.gov/kawasaki/about…

Pregnancy is such a fun journey and you get great snacks along the way! 🙃 Actually not as bad this time round bc it was super chilled!! Seems 🍋/🟢 is superior to 🍊.

Learning about medical documentation requirements and came across this gem today from a 2017 document. I don't believe I have ever seen a CT scan presented this way for clinical use (outside of teaching session/lecture.)

I would like to thank baby #2 for the extra chair time recently so that I could finish the last few chapters of #r4ds and then #bookdown.💪🎇🙌🥳 Next up: R Packages. #rstats #RLadies

Saw this graph tinyurl.com/y4hhlmbc making the rounds, so I did a quick redo using ggplot2. #RStats #RLadies

Major events in my life this year. GitHub #rstats

Cleaning baby's place mat when I see a familiar face...hard to place.

Conference idea: warm blanket pick up locations so I don't spend the first hour of a workshop shivering 🥶🥶

Boston weather report for today: Puffy coats but also shorts. 🧥🩳🤷‍♀️

For all Clinical Informatics folks, have you thought about how your EMR would perform in a disaster and what it should be able to do? A hugely important use case we hope never to use, but hope isn't a strategy. ACIF

The past is alarmingly recent.
