This week’s photograph is a panoramic view (click to see larger size) that brings back memories of my time in Seattle, when I would get together with physician informaticists to share our experiences in health information technology across the organizations we served in the community.

Through the work of the Clinovations team, the same experience has been replicated here, with a diversity of professionals that reflects the diversity of work under way in our nation’s capital.

This month’s breakfast happened to be on the same day as the HIT Policy Committee, so we were visited by one of my favorite national health information technology leaders, Neil Calman, MD, from New York City, along with the usual group of my favorite health information technology leaders. That’s Phil Marshall, MD, from WebMD, in the center.

This week’s photograph is a video, reflecting the changing nature of social media, with the advent of iPhone Video and other devices, such as Flip HD.

This video is a brief interview of Trenor Williams, MD, one of the principles of Clinovations, a group of Washington, DC innovators in the Health Information Technology arena that I work with. Clinovations was a lead organizer, along with Ozmosis, and Amplify Public Affairs (of the well-regarded Disruptive Women in Health Care Blog), of the successful Social Media in Health Information Technology conference this week. I’ll be posting my slides and impressions here soon.

By the way, I am still learning how to integrate video into my repetoire, so feel free to provide tips or guidance if you (a) do this regularly (b) have suggestions for people/topics you’d like to see more of or (c) can provide constructive guidance on my technique – setting, questions, framing of the subject, etc. I always want to improve! I did several other interviews, which you can see on the YouTube channel I set up for my stuff.

  Clinovations at Work

Clinovations1

This week’s photograph was taken at a regular gathering of some of Washington, DC’s most thoughtful health information technology professionals, known collectively as Clinovations. The group gets together to share cross-disciplinary expertise in implementation, policy, and local and national approaches to promoting a better health care system through technology. On this evening, we were briefed on the efforts of Chesapeake Regional Information Systems for our Patients , based in Maryland.

The venue in which the gathering was held, is unique to Washington, DC – it’s the Edward Marc Chocolatier sales office, which is opened to community organizations for events (a little chocolate was included…).

Anita and Trenor

This week’s photograph was taken at Washington, DC’s Loeb’s New York Deli , and has Anita Samarth and Trenor Williams, MD, assisting fellow customers with their breakfast meals. This kind of thing just happens in a city/state that’s the #3 most extroverted in the United States.

The occasion of our breakfast was a monthly dialogue of a group of mid-Atlantic health information technology professionals that get together regularly to learn from each other and and to believe that everything is possible, because it is. Here’s a photograph of the full smiling group (except for me, the photographer…).
