Reactive and Creative Spaces

February 22, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

When I look at my day there are 2 spaces that occupy my time. The first is my creative space. This is where I shape things that didn't exist before. Ideas, programs, writing, new presentations and initiatives. Next is my reactive space. This is the operational part of my day. Most of this time is centered on problems or emerging issues. Something arises and I ... Continue Reading about Reactive and Creative Spaces

Health Care and the Visibility-Value Continuum

February 17, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last evening I followed a live Twitter event that Baylor Scott and White Health conducted around a heart transplant.  You can see the stream at #HeartTXLive. Rethinking live events in health care While I’ve not been a fan of live Twitter events, this one made me think.  Social health events once conceived in dry, 3rd person narrative have evolved. High def images ... Continue Reading about Health Care and the Visibility-Value Continuum

100,000 Connected Lemmings

February 4, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Doctors come on to Twitter nearly every day.  Sharing ideas is now simple: Medium and LinkedIn have made ownership of blogs almost obsolete.  We’re all using these connected tools. But none of it means anything unless you do something with them.  Sure we can pass along the flashy tweets about the latest smart diaper.  ‘Breaking’ news of the tattoo that detects ...

The Rise of Medicine’s Creative Class

August 19, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Are we witnessing the rise of a creative class in medicine? The creative class in medicine may be seen as a key driving force for change in a post-analog era.  They are the disruptors willing to poke the box.  The reason that this emerging segment of health care providers is so remarkable is that medicine typically punishes creativity.  In medicine, makers make at ...

Doctors and social media: Damned if you engage, damned if you don’t

August 15, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hinda Mandell felt creepy after being followed by her OB on Twitter.  Her post on Cognoscenti, Brave New World: Your Doctor, Your Private Parts, Twitter And You, is provocative on a number of levels. Think perverts, not OBs.  It’s funny that the author's friends and husband are concerned with her OB.  There’s little regard, however, for that serial pervert in a ...

Yes, Doctor

June 12, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Not long ago I cared for the child of a family from a distant country.  When I walked in, they stood up.  When I walked out, they stood up.  It was like The People’s Court. They agreed with whatever I said.  Their obsequious nodding whenever I spoke made me feel brilliant.  They treated me as though I knew it all. The problem was that the family’s insistence on ...
