My interview w/ Seema Verma of @OracleHealth. The former administrator of CMS left no doubt that she agreed with her colleague Ken Glueck that "Epic CEO Judy Faulkner was the single biggest obstacle to EHR interoperability." modernhealthcare.com/digital-health…
In 25 years we went from paying Manny 160m to salary-dumping Devers a couple hours after a Yankee sweep. On the Pu Pu Platter Scale from 1 to Verdugo/Wong/Downs, this was like an 8.5.
DEVERS TRADE RETURN: RHP Jordan Hicks: 28 YO, 13 G (9 GS), 1-5, 6.47 ERA LHP Kyle Harrison: 23 YO, 8G (4 GS), 1-1, 4.56 ERA James Tibbs: 22YO 1B/OF, SFG's #4 prospect, .245 in A+ ball Jose Bello: 20YO RHP, 2.00 ERA in 8GP (all relief) in rookie ball
Remarkable since Uber Health is targeting vulnerable populations who need rides to medical populations. How does stripping people of Medicaid align with that vision?
the Uber CEO tells Trump his company supports the MAGA reconciliation bill (that will strip millions of healthcare and food support)
Lebron could never.
I can’t explain the hype you got off this as a kid…
The bodies aren't even cold yet and this guy is comparing it to friggin' football? Once upon a time these kind of comments would stick with someone for the rest of their career.
Abbott: You ask, I'm going to use your words: Who's to blame? Know this. That's the word choice of losers. Let me explain one thing about Texas. Every square inch of our state cares about football. Every football team makes mistakes. The losing teams are the ones who try to…
New this AM: @Samsung bought @xealthinc . For Samsung, adding Xealth will help connect its wearables and remote devices with clinical data from hospitals. I got a chance to speak with Mike McSherry about the deal. modernhealthcare.com/health-tech/mh…
Now all that's left if for Trump to sign the Medicaid-tax-cuts bill, but you probably want to understand what is in it for healthcare. modernhealthcare.com/politics-regul…
every community meeting on housing I've attended
Figure out how to say what your company does in one sentence and have every marketing/PR professional memorize it.
Wow, another big round for Abridge. One note: I’d love for companies to think about using simple copy that’s more emotive. “New paradigm of care intelligence” means nothing, and it’s far more powerful to just say “make the job easier for providers.” Choose authenticity over…
Don’t listen to the New York Times. Seriously.
A deal where the company is valued at $10B does NOT mean the company was bought for $10B. Way too many people are making this mistake.
Big win for the @SummaHealth , @generalcatalyst and HATCo folks. Ohio AG Dave Yost has approved the deal...with a few conditions. @hdesilva23 has the latest. modernhealthcare.com/mergers-acquis…
The biggest question I have in light of the Karen Read verdict: What's the big trial of the 2120s going to be at Dedham Superior Court (aka my hometown). 1920s: Sacco and Venzetti 2020s: Karen Read 2120s: ???
The Sox ownership went looking for any shred of an out to Devers' contract...he sort of gave them one and they ran with it. What a joke.
According to my sources, the last conversation between Rafael Devers and the Red Sox management went like this: he expressed his love for the city and his desire to stay, but feeling unappreciated, he asked them that if they did not want him, to kindly trade him, as he does not…
My timeline is part "wow the Red Sox swept the Yankees," part "wow why the hell did they trade Devers." It's depressing. No one makes it harder to root for the Sox than the people who run this team.
Cannot stress how unprecedent this is...I couldn't even tell you anything interesting that Xavier Becerra, Alex Azar, etc ever said.
Absolutely insane for the head of HHS to tell Americans that none of the vaccines their kids are getting have gone through safety tests - when all of them have been safety-tested.
