House Leaders to HHS: Halt and Fix the EHR Incentive Program

Tue, 2012-10-09 23:33 — Kathy Gilbeaux

healthdatamanagement.com - by Joseph Goedert - October 5, 2012

Four powerful members of the U.S. House and Representatives have sent a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius calling for an immediate halt to the electronic health records meaningful use incentive program, which they consider to be weak.

. . . The House members contend the meaningful use program is not meeting its goals, has wasted $10 billion and may do more harm than good. What follows is text of their Oct. 4 letter to Sebelius:

“We are writing to express serious concerns about the final Electronic Health Record Stage 2 Meaningful Use Program rules recently issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. We believe that the Stage 2 rules are, in some respects, weaker than the proposed Stage 1 regulations released in 2009. The result will be a less efficient system that squanders taxpayer dollars and does little, if anything, to improve outcomes for Medicare.

Tom Davenport and I recently had the opportunity to collaborate on an article in Harvard Business Review on the fast growing role of the data scientist. Not only was it a great honor to work with someone like Tom (whose books were critical for me in helping us think about building the LinkedIn Analytics Team), but it also an opportunity to reflect on how much has changed in the data space in the past couple of years. Those that have benefited the most from the use of data have really taken to heart the difference between talking about data and being ‘data driven’.

How to Weather a Hurricane

Sat, 2012-09-01 21:20 — Kathy Gilbeaux

The New York Times - by Daniel P. Aldrich - August 28, 2012

HURRICANE Isaac, which made landfall in Louisiana last night, has not only disrupted the Republican National Convention but also brought back painful memories of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf Coast seven years ago this week.

. . . As a political scientist (I taught at Tulane at the time), I decided to study how communities respond to natural disasters. I’ve concluded that the density and strength of social networks are the most important variables — not wealth, education or culture — in determining their resilience in the face of catastrophe.
