Attend the Best DM/Population Health Conference of the Year!
In a little less than three weeks, DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance will open its 10th annual meeting , in Hollywood, Fla. – a notable milestone for an organization that has evolved with its membership over the past decade.
I’ll be there, presenting with Dr. Victor Villagra on the "March toward Data Interoperability" and the outlook for disease management.

Perspectives on the Upcoming 5th Annual Healthcare Unbound Conference
The Healthcare Unbound Conference is a highlight of my year and I always look forward to it!
What’s so special about this conference?
First, the caliber of the people attending. It’s a stimulating mix of high-level clinical, technical and business types. The energy is flowing and many people have told me how much they like to go just for the networking.

Bravo, cheers and congratulations to fellow blogger and consultant Matthew Holt. In a stroke of defiance and brilliance, he has trademarked the term “Health 2.0” and made it available for all to use (presumably except for events that might be confused with his upcoming Health 2.0 conference). From The Health Care Blog:
Yes I’ve trademarked Health2.0. No, I will not stop anyone using it. I’ll be giving control over the trademark to the collective advisory board for the Health2.0 Conference. All I want […]
Motherhood, Empty Nesting, and Disease Management
My wife, Jill, just wrote a beautiful Mother’s Day essay. Her writing brought a tear to my eye.

Introducing: the POE Award and the POO Award
Today I’m introducing two new awards:
The POE Award — for plain old English
The POO Award — for pervasive obfuscatory oration
When I work on projects, the room typically has a combination of people who are native speakers of three very different languages:
