Meaningful Use EHR Incentive Programs – As has been reported widely, this is the resource page for CMS’s meaningful use incentive programs. Although it is Web 1.0 (or maybe Web 0.75?), at least there is a place to go to see the final rule when it is published.

End of the line for Second Life?

End of the line for Second Life?
I’ve always been skeptical about second life, echoing some of the experiences expressed in the article.
At the same time, I vividly remember the demo at Health 2.0 where the patient in MS describes how she can’t walk, but she dances every night in Second Life. It was a touching view of how technology could free people to achieve their life goals.
Study: Several D.C. area hospitals do not have nondiscrimination policies for gays

These hospitals do not explicitly include “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in their patients’ bill of rights or nondiscrimination policies.
They are: Sibley Memorial, Howard University and Providence hospitals in the District; Shady Grove Adventist Hospital and Washington Adventist Hospital in Montgomery County; Reston Hospital Center and Virginia Hospital Center in Northern Virginia; and Doctors Community Hospital in Prince George’s County.
As I mentioned previously on this blog, the harm to patients and families’ health from unequal treatment has been documented at several hospitals.
Hopefully Reading Soon: Open Leadership, by Charlene Li
May 28th, 2010 | Popularity: 4% 0 comments | Leave a replyReviews and Press of “Open Leadership” – Founder of Altimeter Group, Author of Open Leadership, Coauthor of Groundswell – I am in the endnotes of this book, described as “one of the most prolific blogging doctors,” alongside mention of Kasier Permanente’s social media policy (which is available for download and as a model for others).
This description is interesting for me, because for a good portion of the time, I am worried that my activities are too opaque. Besides this blog, I maintain a blog on Kaiser Permanente’s internal social network (called “Ideabook”)
Charlene says, “openness requires more — not less — rigor and effort than being in control.” I agree, and would rather do the more challenging thing (be open), than the easy thing (command and control).
I’ve been blogging now for about 5 years (whoa), and at this point I really do feel uncomfortable if I can’t be open. I’d go farther to say that in other leaders I find openness interesting, exciting; command and control, boring.
Needless to say, I have been a fan of @charleneli ‘s work for a very long time; my discovery of the use of social media in leadership and change management/support happened around the same time she was breaking new ground in this field.
I am unfortunately not in a part of the world (the UK countryside) that’s near a bookstore, and the book is not “yet” on an iKindleBookstore, but as soon as it is, I look forward to reading it. I’m afraid I may like it too much.
Thanks for the mention, Charlene, and for paving the way for others in my generation. We’re ready to teach, and learn.
