Great advice from providers in Texas! Having 21 years of experience I have definitely learned that humility is the best teacher. We all can learn from each other regardless of years spent doing the job, regardless of education level, regardless of licensure level. I think if we always look and listen for opportunities to invest in each others and ourselves, the impact is felt greatly within the industry.

Thanks to Curia Ben Howlett for inviting me to participate in a panel at such an insightful event last night, discussing how to encourage more research and subsequently, a larger number of great UK innovations in health and social care. James O'Shaughnessy was, as usual, a knowledgeable and engaging Chair, probing the speakers and audience to dive deep into the issues and suggest solutions. Samantha Roberts' frank update on what NICE - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is doing to improve its already robust systems and further accelerate innovation was very welcome; she was honest about the challenges and pushbacks, and that these changes will take time but I have no doubt that things are moving in the right direction. My fellow panelists Lindsey Hughes, Helen Dent and Sheuli Porkess articulated clearly the challenges and opportunities in the clinical trial / research landscape, and provided useful suggestions on how to improve and build on the work already being done. Professor Peter Johnson, Geoff Hall and Arun Sujenthiran MD also provided interesting insights into how data is being and can be better used to tackle cancer. One big takeaway for me was that the UK needs to reframe how it looks at profitability and acknowledge that there is a cost to everything, so why shouldn’t there be a subsequent benefit to the ones outlaying that cost in the first instance? I am not saying that allowing unrestrained profits is the way forward but there needs to be an open debate on what is in it for both the private companies investing their time and energy, and the UK health system (and economy) in working with them.

🚀 Excited to be speaking at the 2024 Pan-Canadian Conference on Health Information in Vancouver on the topic of “Enhancing Health Information Management with ChatGPT”! During this session, I’ll be exploring how AI and ChatGPT are transforming the way we approach health information management (HIM), from streamlining communications, to supporting compliance, and transitioning to paperless environments. Looking forward to connecting with industry peers and sharing insights on how we can leverage these tools for greater efficiency and innovation in the HIM space. #HIM #AIinHealthcare #HealthInformationManagement #CHIMA #DigitalHealth #ChatGPT

Our CEO Tatiana Fofanova, Ph.D. has been chosen to represent Koda Health as a 2024 Rock Health Innovation Fellow! This fellowship serves to advance #digitalhealth solutions that prioritize marginalized and neglected communities in health like Koda's ACP Platform. We're proud to have intentionally crafted our #AdvanceCarePlanning Experience that published research shows is bridging equity gaps across historically disadvantaged demographic groups. This is through thoughtful design decisions centering these very populations that are often afterthoughts in our healthcare system. For example: - Our #product is a cloud-based patient platform that functions optimally using any internet-enabled device, no matter how old it is. -Our #KodaCares program provides a human touch to patients who need it ranging from the seriously ill to those who are unable to read. We believe ACP should be available for all and continue to refine our products to reflect this mission! As we grow as a company, we're eager to implement the insights provided during this fellowship towards better #patientoutcomes and innovations that best serve the needs of these communities.
