Apparently. A Connecticut woman wasn’t feeling well and noticed on her Fitbit that her heart rate was climbing. She sought medical help and it was determined that she had a blood clot in her lungs. Kind of remarkable. But let’s face it, we’re desperate for stories about digital gimmicks that save lives. It’s these stories that fuel saucy digital health keynote presentations that predict a bigger, brighter, healthier future.

In various conversations on Consent , including #FHIR Consent, discussions often get mixed-up because we use the terms "OPT-IN" and "OPT-OUT". These terms are trouble. We need to stop using “OPT-IN” and “OPT-OUT”. I want to propose a set of terms. I will never get everyone to stop using opt-in and opt-out, but where better terms can be used, I propose better terms.

Karen Iovino contacted us about school standardized tests and children with Type 1 diabetes. She wanted to learn what other parents of children with Type 1 did when it came to such tests. We encouraged her to share her experience: Florida third graders recently took the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) tests, a series of four 80-minute sessions that can determine whether a child should move on to fourth grade.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of five, and I’ve had few complications in the 51 years after my diagnosis. I’ve enjoyed an active life as a mom, a business executive, a volunteer, and an avid hiker. In Spring of 2016, I’d been invited to hike the infamous Half Dome Cables of Yosemite, a 16-mile high-elevation hike that involves a series of cable climbs to reach the summit. sponsor.

Effective collaboration among all care team members is critical to delivering better patient outcomes. A key element to achieving effective collaboration is through the implementation of a clinical communication and collaboration platform. In a fast-paced, high-stress and critical environment, people tend to do whatever gets the job done.

For one, the ACA Employer Mandate will now remain—as applicable large employers must still offer healthcare to 95% of their full-time and full-time equivalent employees or face penalties.

Now that the vote on the American Healthcare Act has been withdrawn, and its return highly unlikely, it would appear that the Affordable Care Act will continue to be the law of the land indefinitely. But that does not mean that states won’t continue to make their own healthcare rules on a local level. States can do so using the Section 1332 Waiver process.

In a matter of two weeks, everything seems to have changed for the fate of states and their healthcare. Prior to President Trump’s decision to keep the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – following the withdrawal of the House vote on the American Health Care Act (AHCA) – states were already urged to take their healthcare into their own hands.
