Every once in a while I like to take a tour around Twitter and share some of the interesting tweets I’ve found. Plus, I usually provide a little bit of commentary on each. Here are a few that interested me today.
Great example of patient education! What breast cancer can look like. #hcsm #HITsm pic.twitter.com/CTBL86Vefi

Quite the imagery indeed. I’ve been fascinated with images lately. You can consume them in a few seconds and it communicates something so quickly.
"We really aren't taking care of 'records,' we're taking care of PEOPLE" Lawrence Weed, MD, 1971 http://t.co/0KQ1mRd5QU #HealthIT @HITsm

Lawrence Weed, MD was way ahead of his time. The EHR can easily make us forget about the person if we’re not careful. Reimbursement and MU checkoff lists don’t help either.
@EMRAnswers @GabrielSPerna Interesting. Cardinal spun out @CareFusion in 2009. 5 yrs later bought by competitor BD. #howworldworks #HITsm

Not a bad day to be at CareFusion. Bought by BD for $12.2 Billion. It is interesting that Cardinal Health created it, spun it off and then its competitor bought it. A little too inside baseball for me.

This article is a great read if you’re a health IT startup company. I love Jeff’s description of the black box of healthcare. It’s true that if you try to have them come out of the box and do something different, it’s extremely hard. If you do something that feeds the black box, then they’ll buy it. Sad, but true.
