Shiro king under the mountain gloss
Here’s one example from our work with I2B2/Shrine.ĭid you know that the average human white blood cell count is 5 at noon but 13 at 3am? The Green Button idea is foundational to the learning healthcare system we’re all trying to build. Imagine that while in her record, a Green Button enabled access to the de-identified records of all 50 year old, Asian females with similar tumors and showed the treatment protocol used, the side effects, the cure rate, the cost, and the complications.Īlthough not completely scientific, such an approach does not identify causality, it does demonstrate experience and standard practices in the community.
When my wife was diagnosed with Stage IIIA Breast Cancer in December of 2011, the biomarkers of the tumor were HER2 -, Estrogen +, Progesterone +. The Green Button is for instant access to outcomes, cost, and risk information for patients that match a given profile. The Blue Button is for patient view/download/transmit of medical records. Chris Longhurst, chief medical information officer at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and colleagues wrote an article in the Big Data Issue of Health Affairs, that suggests a very practical approach for enabling real time analytics within an EHR. The most popular analytics topics are business intelligence, big data, and novel data visualizations. Over the summer, I’ve given many lectures about SMAC - social media, mobile, analytics and cloud computing. We’ve already put up notices at local farm stands offering guinea chicks for sale. We still have two nests in the forest and if they are successful, we’ll have over 100 guineas on the farm. Mom is a little disturbed that we took her babies away, but she’s returned to the coop and settled in with the other guineas. Today they are happy and healthy and we’ll move them to one of the mini-coops on August 16. Together we wrangled all 17 babies into a large farming bucket and placed them in a 100 degree F brooder where they ate, drank, and warmed up after their travel through wet grass.
I ran to the hives and asked for my daughter’s help. Other guineas in the flock do not seem to recognize their own young species and tend to harass babies, sometimes to the point of killing them.
Behind her were 17 babies that she successfully raised in the forest and now was leading back to the coop. We were convinced that a coyote had taken her. As I walked past the cider house I noticed a grey guinea fowl that had disappeared in the forest about a month ago. Over the weekend, I put on my bee suit to help my wife and daughter inspect the hives and move heavy honey filled frames.
