This week I’m at the CHIME 2017 Fall Forum in San Antonio. It’s a great event that is no doubt the largest gathering of healthcare CIOs in one place. Today they kicked off the event with a great keynote speech from Kelly McGonigal that reframed stress in a really unique way. Here are some of the tweets that captured the essence of Kelly’s message.

Stress response (fast heart beat, etc) is a good thing, it's helping you conquer the challenge. Stop stressing #chime17 @kellymcgonigal

You can see there are some powerful reframes when it comes to stress. It’s amazing the impact that just thinking of stress as a positive thing in your life can have on the outcomes. That’s a lesson we can all use since we all experience stress.
Along with the keynote, CHIME also did a great tribute to Neal Patterson, CEO of Cerner who passed away recently. It was very nice to take a moment to talk about Neal and his impact on the healthcare IT industry.
