Stock and Flow

February 18, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I struggle with the idea of where to put my ideas. In the past I’ve thought about this as the Medical Media Continuum. So I ran across this post by Austin Kleon. He sees his output in two buckets, stock and flow. Flow is your feed and stock is your durable output. It’s drawn from a 2010 post on the subject by Robin Sloan: Flow is the feed. It’s the posts and the ... Continue Reading about Stock and Flow

Should Physicians Give Their Cell Phone Number to Patients?

February 5, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

I hear this occasionally on Twitter: “My doctor gave me his cell phone number so I can call him whenever I have a problem.” Occasionally I hear from physicians that they give their cell phone number to their patients. While some practice situations necessitate this (rural, solo practice or concierge) in other circumstances I don’t think this is fully thought ...

Why Doctors Would Hate The Best EHR in the World

January 31, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

They would complain that The Best EHR in the World is destroying medicine and hurting patients. Long essays in the Sunday New York Times would wax nostalgic about the good old days before the ...

Physician Notes: Access is Only as Good as the Notes Themselves

January 30, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Even as physicians we sometimes have difficulty understanding what’s happening or where a patient is headed in their care. An informed patient begins with clean information It got me thinking of OpenNotes. This is a tremendous ... Continue Reading about Physician Notes: Access is Only as Good as the Notes Themselves

3 Words for 2018

January 1, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 1 minute

Every year I identify three words to help define my purpose going into the new year. I picked this up from Chris Brogan some years ago and never quite let go of it. I find it works better than a narrow resolution. It provides a territory rather than a discreet goal that’s ripe for failure. Essentialism Once you give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all ... Continue Reading about 3 Words for 2018

Workspace Evolution: What’s a Computer?

December 21, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

https://youtu.be/sQB2NjhJHvY In a new Apple commercial a young boy goes through his day with an iPad Pro doing a variety of things. At the end of the ad his mother passes by and asks, “what are you doing on your computer?” He replies, “what’s a computer?” It raises interesting questions about where we see our workspace. Poignant in its own way. The computer ... Continue Reading about Workspace Evolution: What’s a Computer?
