Work has been intense. Strategy development, team building, infrastructure projects and new technology evaluations abound. I like to get deep into a topic, obsess about it and know as much as I can in the time I have. I then come back up for air and a reality check and figuring out how much of each is needed to keep the momentum going requires more art than science right now.
So a colleague of mine gave me a few articles to read recently and I took the opportunity in a longish large meeting to scan them and it spawned a few ideas.
- An article on the effect of compensation on collaboration (negative in most cases) got cross pollinated with what I'm learning about the National Quality Forum's likely future direction on hospital metrics.
- Build vs buy on the Business Intelligence front in payor organizations. What are the lesson's learned for providers and how does that relate to emerging trends on data aggregation vendors as opposed to traditional Business Intelligence vendors.
- The economic recovery legislation and it's impact on adoption of EMRs and even more importantly the execution of those projects.
Today was a good reminder to stop, pay attention to everything going on around me and not just focus on the next steps and the plan. If you don't stop and smell the roses then you might just miss something important...

The 2009 Stimulus Package from Pres. Obama requires tighter security and privacy controls. Also there is the goal of EHR apoption in five years. Only 11% of hospitals are on an EHR today. We have a long way to go.
Did you really build a chicken coop?
The chicken coop is a work in progress. Saturday the girls and I painted it and Sunday I got the wire on the frames for the run. Next step is to knock the frames together and start building the hen house. After that it's the roof and kids door. I'm taking pictures as I go. There will be a photo essay eventually.
