Well... Don't ever tell me that getting stuff paid for in healthcare is easy. ;)

"Unit economics never get worse over time" Except in healthcare for some reason ;)

Not to mention many in the "ACO" industry are focusing on PMPM based on paid amounts, not allowed amounts. I know a simple way to reduce paid amounts... increase the deductible. #healthcarefail

Great article and a great quote. “For any given topic, there is a gap between the supply of what we actually know and the demand for what we feel we need to know. Everything that fills this gap is bullshit.” — Mike Mallazzo medium.com/p/the-bs-indus…

The privacy vs. speed dilemma in the age of #COVID19 is a false dichotomy: You can have both privacy and speed and still get input from 100k+ people 👇🏼

If that's the case (and I agree), then what's a bundled payment?

Totally agree with this. We had a baby on Medicaid during grad school. It's worth using it when you need it.

I love this! A minute of silence to find a path to action and not be standing on the edge of the circle.

Remember when health record banks were a thing people talked about? I'm assuming they died because the business model didn't work?

As a member of the LDS church, I can safely say that it mostly does this for geneological purposes (to connect you with your ancestors), but the indirect benefits are so awesome!

Businesses that force Agile on their data teams aren't doing Data Science. It's usually just Software Engineering with data. Agile's fine if code is the artifact. Data Science is applied research. Data and models are the artifacts. It's a different lifecycle and requires a
