Guarding The President’s Privacy Is Key For A White House Physician 

Before deciding to take a photogenic, early-evening helicopter ride from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center back to the White House, President Trump toyed with an even more dramatic idea. He discussed wearing a Superman T-shirt under his dress clothes, coming out of the hospital looking exhausted, and then tearing off his outer shirt to reveal himself as the ever-strong Superman. Made-for-tweeting publicity stunts that are rejected can still teach us something: In this case, it is about the power of costumes and the narratives they bring with them. (George J. Annas, 10/14)

Scientists discover new method to retrieve lost single-cell RNA-sequencing information

Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.Oct 14 2020

Sequencing RNA from individual cells can reveal a great deal of information about what those cells are doing in the body. MIT researchers have now greatly boosted the amount of information gleaned from each of those cells, by modifying the commonly used Seq-Well technique.

With their new approach, the MIT team could extract 10 times as much information from each cell in a sample.

This increase should enable scientists to learn much more about the genes that are expressed in each cell, and help them to discover subtle but critical differences between healthy and dysfunctional cells.

It’s become clear that these technologies have transformative potential for understanding complex biological systems. If we look across a range of different datasets, we can really understand the landscape of health and disease, and that can give us information as to what therapeutic strategies we

DUBLIN, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The “Electronic Health Information Exchange Market” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This report examines the technology, technology providers, and market trends in Electronic Health Information Exchange (HIE) services.

This report evaluates the current industry trends in HIE products and services. It also identifies the key vendors and their strategies. The report also answers the basic questions: What is an Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR)?, What is an EHR database?, and Why is there a need for an HIE?

Simply stated, an Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient’s paper chart. While many leading companies are increasingly moving towards digital retention of records via EHR databases, information is typically available only within a closed system. In other words, medical facilities that are not part of the same group often cannot exchange data between their EHR systems.

To address this

Results from Q2 2020, shared in July, found that Facebook has 2.7 billion monthly active users sending 100 billion-plus messages each day—making it the largest social network in the world. This year, with the COVID-19 crisis and presidential politicking, Facebook has been in the news quite a bit. The social media site is available in more than 100 languages across the globe, with 300,000-plus users accessing translations. The company’s mission is to “[g]ive people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” However, it faces increasing criticism and scrutiny.

In April 2019 testimony before Congress, CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for “a big mistake,” which “was in fact several big mistakes, including exposing up to 87 million users’ data to Trump campaign consultants (a privacy breach for which Facebook would be fined $5 billion); concealing an organized Russian effort to interfere in the 2016 election

“It’s a lot of work. I’m not trying to let anybody off the hook. You shouldn’t have major errors like this. On the other hand, there’s a lot of data and some how it gets gummed up on the works,” Husty said.

Similar issues in Florida have happened before. This time The Florida Department of Health says a technical issue caused them to sort through 400,000 previously reported results by a private laboratory called Helix.

“I don’t think this causes any real concern at all. It’s just data, what do we really see? We’re seeing

Exploring 3 Levels of Health Information Exchange, Data Access

| Health Facts

By Christopher Jason

– Adequate and seamless health information exchange is an evergreen problem in healthcare, the adverse consequences of which are well-documented.

Poor data access can lead to patient safety issues, delays in care access, and tack on additional roadblocks to already cumbersome provider workflows.

But according to The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) —and nearly everyone else in healthcare—electronic health information exchange (HIE) allows providers and patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient’s vital medical information electronically—improving the speed, quality, safety, and cost of patient care.

HIEs are looking at different ways to boost interoperability between more health organizations. To achieve these goals, health IT developers are broadening the digital footprint at state, regional, and national levels.
